Hey all, I am looking to order a bunch of parts for my watercooling setup online, and before I order I am wondering if any of you here have had any positive or negative experiences with specific retailers or shipping companies, particularly with regard to customs/border charges, as I have hear cases where people have been burned badly by this before.
I am looking at a fairly substantial order, and of course do not want to pay for it plus half again or more is customs, as that would not go over well with the wife!
Of all the websites that I have looked at so far, I seem to hear/read the most positive about frozencpu, and they also definitely have every part I am looking for and the best or equal prices as well, so I would like to order from them unless there is something I am not aware of about them in regard to shipping costs?
The main thing from what I am interpreting from ready many peoples' experiences is that depending on the shipping company, customs charges vary wildly. It seems from my reading that UPS is probably the worst for shipping charges, but I would like to know, is there any one company this is the best for customs charges? Or is there any specifically that I should avoid? Any input on this is hugely appreciated as I definitely do not want to be increasing my budget basically for nothing!
Thanks
