Import tax comes a month after you received your parcel from the couriers which is a bit naughty. I thinks its estimated on weight, not sure but i had to pay an extra £25 import tax on my nets and that was on top of the £35 postage. I buy parts for my harley davidson direct from the states and its a bit of a lottery as to whether you get stung for tax or not, it dosent always happen. If you do, it will probably only be a couple of quid on one net so dont worry toooo much.

Youll probably get confirmation when your cage is posted .

I think this show is a bit of a bug meet n greet for the young uns which is great for their first time encounter. Dont think Andy sold many mantids but the kids loved the hissers crawling over their hands, well the ones that were brave enough. It was great just looking at their little faces beaming

.. I bought some wood, and some locusts.

Brilliant venue at a good price £2.
