As i said before if i could of got what i wanted from the UK i would have.
I've had parcels stopped before that have come through the post office and never had to pay any more than a handling charge similar to the vat/customs charge... its the same company and probably the same central depot.

Sorry but you are trying to avoid paying the tax and duty which every distributor and shop have to pay in the UK. especially as you admit if it comes as a gift you wont pay.
If you say you cant get a part in the Uk why not ask the shop to order it for you?
It will most likey take similar amount of time as getting from abroad and you will not have to cross your fingers you dont pay duty.
parcel force are a very good company as long as you adress correctly and pay correct postage and do not try to cheat the shops and companys in the uk out of the money they need to pay for food on their table.
