It worked for me when i was ordering hundreds of shuttle cocks from china.
Maybe i was just lucky.

China is different.
And everything from there is marked as Gift half the time anyway so they don't really take notice.
How much were the values? £18 is the line. Although you can get away with more if the box is small/light - the amount that comes through they would only really bother with anything that they look/feel is suspect. I assume they were mostly through Royal Mail rather than a courier service?

About 50 tubes at about £6 each.. quite a bit

You assume the only place is ebay.
When we have sites like dealextreme and the other one that split from them (of course - many others).
And I wouldn't say never - I've paid import taxes on £500+ lenses before
its generally when you use "EMS" (courier) that you get hit (if the value is high enough of course).

I'd like to jump in on this thread if I may.
I was up for getting myself a Contour HD 720 as from all the videos I've seen posted here the footage from them looked way better - although comments here suggest they aren't good at night? Anyone got any example footage I could see?
Never understood the popularity of the Muvi - I guess they are cheap I suppose, but that vertical tearing that seems to constantly accompany videos shot on them looking like jelly has put me off a fair bit!

From my quick look on the interweb I have found the Contour HD does not like the blue/white light from LED lights, it prefers the light from xenon or halogen lights.

It doesn't pick up led light so well. And that's a problem at night. Look at some of my earlier videos for examples of night time use

I have no tearing at all - and know many others without cmos wobble too. Of course you might be refering to the £10 special.
It doesn't work so well eith dim lighting as the HD sensor needs more light to function well.
This is why the 1080@30fps has to run at 720 for 60fps.
Higher resolution doesn't always mean better quality.
Indeed. That's why after some investigation I went for a lower resolution camera with a higher bit rate and better low light capabilities. I had a feeling at the time that some folk on here questioned my choice to go for a more expensive camera with lower resolution.
Of course, one of the cables is broken and I need to get around to getting that sorted!
