Dirt cheap price too.

You'll still get a bill in a week or so though, you realise?

I have always had to pay customs in advance of getting the item, or the bill has been delivered to me at the same time. I haven't got one after taking delivery before. I suppose it depends on the delivery service used.

Fox are buggers for imports.

FedEx send the invoices after delivery. Bought two things from Jenson recently myself.

That's because thier stuff is dirt cheap in the USA, and if they weren't buggers about it, they'd loose a lot of sales.....

I just bought some Marzocchi Bomber shoes from Jenson, they arrived really quickly (quicker than Royal Mail i reckon). Bargain price, as they are basically the same as Five Tens but cost me £55 including the postage. But then yesterday I got a bill from Fed Ex for £15!! doh!! wasn't expecting that! So didn't end up being such a bargain! 😥

fitted and them seem great, don't dive at all, i was expecting it to feel really differet to the rigids, but apart from no wrist ach they roll along quite similarly and over rought stuff are a marked inprovement

oh and i got a bill from fedex for the duty but £194 inc delivery and taxes wasn't bad!
