I'm unsure of the price of these. But I can't imagine ther3 cheap.

Id assume with shipping and customs you wouldnt be getting change from atleast 500 notes but others will be able to comment on that from experience.

as far as I understand, then theres no duty on bats into England, only VAT? "Cricket Bats is duty free and has a VAT rate of 20%"

Seeing that Aussie VAT is 10% and that should be deducted when shipped directly to England, youre only 10% out of pocket.

Except royal Mail charge a processing and holding charge. That seemingly seems made up. Could be anything.

True. Danish post is set at 16 pounds.. But all other couriers, phhf, they can practically make their own rules!

Just had a package delivered til FedEx. 25 pounds for checking, and 2,5% surplus on "customs they paid for the package to be delivered"

Parcel: 300USD, 25% VAT in DK, = 75 USD, Customs 14% (Clothes) = 52USD + 35USD for FedEx checking it, and 2,5% of the ENTIRE total being a whopping = 166 USD on top of the parcel.
This is okay, i figured this would happen. Thing is, ALL cricket gear is totally excempt in Denmark, VAT customs everything - but then they put it down as an OAR and charge the whole bs again..

First regarding the bat. I only have one, but it is the best performing bat that I have, and thats why I bought it not for how it looks. I honestly don't like the look of big bats, and find the stickers jarring, but the performance is extraordinary. The chaps at Meulemans, where I bought mine, said that it is the best performing bat model they have ever had on their shelves, and given they have coached the best and have several generations of first class players, they have some knowledge to determine what is a good bat. For this season I don't know how the other models will compare. I suspect they will all be good, which will be best is hard to tell, and realistically will have to take the resellers word for it, as they will see them all passing through. As customers even if we buy each model, we are only seeing one of each, so not really the basis for comment.
But to the bat choices I would say go on the advice of the reseller, if looks are your thing thats a different matter, but I don't think this bat is about elegant lines and perfect grains, rather amazing performance, and the reseller that has them all to hand is best placed to tell you that.
