[ARUP]

I don't know if this is helpful but a couple years ago I gifted a VK Corben Super Ace model airplane kit to a fella in England. I live in the States. The two boxes, one of the kit and another much smaller one of a cowling, cost $80.00 to ship. About a year later I received the kit with 'return to sender' on it. I never saw the smaller box again. According to documents the boxes were relegated to some dock requiring duties be paid(?). I had been in contact with the potential recipient but he could never recover the boxes even being armed with the shipping information! I was really disappointed my friend didn't get the gift and it was $80.00 loss 'salt in the wound'. I, for one, would be leery of repeating this exercise. I have never had problems receiving products from overseas.
