Hi,
Adrian, customs taxes here is always the same. the only exception is if a person send a gift to another person with a price inferior to US$50.00!!!
Another problem to buy direct in countries like mine, is there are no return options!
I think the Axiom policy to sell direct is great, but in some countries like mine a dealer would have better prices to offer, because a dealer can have better custom taxes, stock, and with stock, better overall shipping prices!
htnut, your room is almost the size of mine!!! So I think it would be great!
