not to feed the sickness, but don't these seem to be a pair? I mean the Uk does not have the cover art so in a sense to me it like a 2nd disc. Am I sick? haha probably.

ok, the Uk version (US mix) arrived and it really is a nice disc. I thought the artwork would be a bit sharper but otherwise it looks and sounds great.

I've already paid a tenner import charge, better not be more now urgh. Still waiting for the sodding thing. Is this a new thing? Never been charged customs for stuff from America before and bought quite a lot really.

If you mean you paid using eBay's Global Shipping Program then you shouldn't have to pay anything extra, that's the whole point really. If you mean you just paid £10 for P+P you may be charged.

VAT on imports is not new, no. Sometimes things get through by luck, and you shouldn't get charged if the item is under the threshold (which is £15 since the end of 2011, previously £18).

a tenner global shipping would've been great, the customs charge is £15

Oh yeah I paid the charge upfront. The priority shipping I paid for nearly three weeks ago doesn't seem to have much priority to it mind. Might not help that I forgot to change my postcode with my street address but even so, it's not even been tracked into the UK yet.

Urgh, give a ten day window which I think is a bit vague for a delivery estimate as it is anyway, we're past that now and it's not even in the country yet. What the hell.
