They have also suggested I look into import duties - if anyone has any experience of these please PM me with any recommendations / who at Customs I need to contact?
I am also getting a price from them for individual purchases of 5 units (that seems the most common number required) including delivery to the UK, so that if the group buy doesn't work out we can inundate them with individual purchases
Customs will hold the delivery back and give you notification of the charge.
Unless it's changed recently duty charge kicks it at a value of £18, they'll be an £8 admin charged and the tax itself will be about 30%. Note they tax you on the postage cost too.
Given the prices on your original post batches of around 25-35 ( depends on the discount you get and weight for postage reasons ) might work out cheaper than 1 big batch. If so it might be worth a few peole putting themselves forward to receive the small batch and pass/post on to specified others. I'd be happy to do a batch if it does work out cheaper that way as I think I also owe the Group Buy ethos some karma.
