From what I believe, this is only information I have read here and there, been told over the times and put two and two together in my own little mind.
Let's talk price first of all, Willow 2.0 posted above for example is $6500 they have a promotion at the moment if you don't change her options there is a $1000 discount, that just happens to work for me, That discount will possibly cover her shipping costs to a UK collection port, then I believe there will be 26% tax and duty on top of that. £4785 +26% = £6029,. Honestly I don't normally bother with all that rubbish, I am sure there will be some hidden money transfer fees, so in my little mind, when I am on he Realdoll site, which is quite often recently, :o I just takes the original $6500 including shipping and turns it into £6500 if I get any change it will go towards the next bit.

International shipping is not door to door, but to the closest customs clearing office to your home (typically the nearest international airport.) Once the crate arrives you will be contacted by the customs agent to claim your crate. You will need to clear the crate through customs and pay any import taxes and duties as well as transportation from customs to your home. If you are not familiar with the customs procedures you may need an agent/broker to assist you. Our shipping company would be happy to put you in touch with an agent/broker if requested.

Now I will need a agent or broker, I haven't got a clue what that will cost, although I thought £500 will do it..:rolleyes:
In my mind I am at £7000, that is a silly amount of money for a doll, and way, way out of my league, in 2002 I walked into the Ford car showroom and order a brand new Ford Fiesta in a end of model promotion sale and it was only £250 more, and she's not even dressed yet. :eek: Saying that, my car was worth naff all when I traded it in 5 years later and no matter how much I stared into them headlights they didn't arouse my attention at all. Thinking of it that way £7k doesn't sound that bad.:eek: :no:
