Im looking for a cheap screen for my ps2 for in car use.

I have seen plenty on ebay that are cheap enough but come from the far east e.g china.

Will the customs bend me over and rape me thus making the original low cost of the product high or will it still be cheaper than uk based

it is possible that customs will charge you yes. Dont know how it would compare with uk prices though

When i bought a PSP from japan they charged me an import cost of £50 at the door. Email the seller and ask them for a rough price.

i order stuff from HK all the time on ebay, it depends on the seller
if they put it as a gift under £60 then theres no tax, if they say what it really is inside then you could get taxed

Any decent sized package will get opened. If the contents dont match the label then the sender gets fucked! Customs are not stupid.

How do you watch a parcel sent from Hong Kong unless you go pick it up personally?
