halljames - I spoke to both M-Edge and Oberon about shipping to the UK this week. Both companies charge about $27 shipping, and given that the cost of the Oberon will (probably) be $75, it's not too bad.

The customs charges will normally be 15% VAT plus a handling charge (can't remember how much) plus a re-shipping charge of about £8. They will almost certainly hold the package till you have paid the duties (as this is their job) but you might be lucky.

If you want the better choice of cases that our US buddies have, just factor the customs charges in to the cost and grit your teeth. You may be pleasantly surprised if it just arrives uncontested.

Oberon should have pictures of the 505 case by the end of this week or early next week.
