What were you thinking about buying mate if it's a car then yes, but parts don't tend to get stung with anything

From northern ireland no its classed as uk/britain no tax import etc, but southern it needs to be classed as imported unfortunately not part of uk etc insurance blah blah becomes more of a chore but it can be done

Thanks for the replys guys

No im not buying a car i've bought a Blitz ECU from there but didnt know the chap was from southern ireland so didnt think of customs charges at the time.

I will be soooooooooooooooooooo pissed off if i do!!! it would of been cheaper to go over on a boat and buy the fucker out right lol

just hope he hasnt put how much its worth when sending it

ive had fair few bits from the states and japland and only had to pay custom charges a handfull of times one of which was a charge of 36pence and they held ill i paid up.......... lucky my pistons and rods got sent as a "birthday present" so i dodged the charge

If i new he was from southern ireland i would of asked him to send it as birthday present i just hope he's had the common sense and thought on.
