    so did they send it back, I am sure you can bring things in but they just charge you a customs charge?

    Why didn't you just take it out the box and post it home then carry the PSp in your hand luggage and not declare it?

    Damn man, calm down....

    If you bothered to use the search facility in the gaming forum you've have found countless PSP threads, with most of them recommending the uk importers.

    Now you've learned.

    Some companies will get it through for you without customs. The only real reason to buy from another country is if you know you will save a fair bit of money, even with customs added.

    When I got my 60gb Creative Zen Jukebox from ebay it was over £100 cheaper than what I would have paid in the UK, and that was with £12 customs aswell. It pays to research

    But I like lik sang, im just saying I didnt lose money by buying there as all the UK companys sell it for more than them so it works out about the same. It would have been alot cheaper if it had slipped customs so it was worth it. But too many have been ordered so customs no it now.

    Customs have known about Lik Sang for years, it's got nothing to do with PSP ordering.

    no offence, but mate, you have no idea how customs work if you are getting this stressed over it.

    Its not picky, its planned. Just be grateful you got it and you the money to pay for it.
