YesAsia Customs on expensive items?

[Lyris]

Sorry if this doesn't relate to video games directly (it's a digital camera I want to order), but it could just as easily relate to a console so I'm assuming people here will know the answer.

Previously I'd placed an order with BuyDig.com in the US who have the camera very cheap, however Fedex shipping was $100 and there'd be customs on top of that so I'm canceling.

It's a Nikon Coolpix 4300 and I'd now like to get it from YesAsia, does anyone know if I will be hit by customs or not? I think the box is pretty small if that makes a difference.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Get a 3100 instead. It's smaller, it's got more scene modes, and the 0.8 megapixels less won't make much of a difference

Seriously, the 3100 is a more sturdy camera.

Thanks for the advice, but I'm gonna be printing these on my brother's color laser printer so resolution and image quality is really important to me which is why I'm still gonna go with the bulkier 4300.

yes asia promise VAT free shipping as they ship to their warehouse in southall first.

do you have the yes asia website address mate?

do they import asian Toys?

[Lyris]

The site's www.yesasia.com , and I think they do.

How quick are yesasia at shipping? I've never used them before - are we talking days or weeks?

It's dependant on stock I think.

I ordered Donkey Konga which arrived within 4 days of it being shipped (this was the week before xmas too). I also ordered a Torchic GBA over Xmas and it was waiting for me at work when I got back.

I find yesasia to be very reliable. If the thing you've ordered is something they already have in their UK warehouse it can turn up within a day or two. I've never waited longer than a couple of weeks for something.

My camera took about 2 weeks to arrive, no customs robbery - I was pleased
