A&B sound - Customs Charged ?

[Ridcully]

HAs anyone any experience of A&B sound? Was going to by T1 and T2. If I bought them together I could reduce the shipping but will I get caught on Customs as its over £18.

It's hit & hope really, I've been caught before from AB, but lots of others haven't. Mind you, now that Consignia have more than doubled the handling charge prolly better to be safe than sorry..

I have only been caught once or twice when using A&B and if I remember correctly it was for box sets, I have had a lot more get through untouched and I am still happy to take the chance because at the end of the day I'm still quids in and they are my favourite region 1 supplier.

I've never been hit but others have posted saying they do get hit. I think it really does depend on how many disks you order at once. With 2 I suspect you're unlikely to be hit since absound use nice small boxes that don't attract too much attention, unlike Amazom.com who'll send two disks in a massive box thats just waiting to be clobbered.

as above really...have always bought in bunches of 3 (20odd orders) and never got caught, but theres a first time for everything :)

You don't save enough on shipping to risk big orders. If you do stick to just two discs though, you should be safe.
