Has Anyone Ordered Exhaust from The UK

Has anyone ordered Milltek exhaust from the UK? What kind of duties have you paid? Was it worth it. The Dollar is strong right now.

I haven't bought an exhaust from the UK but I bought a ton of parts for a triumph motorcycle from a parts distributor in Italy. I relied on paypal and it went really smoothly. The biggest problem I had was the language barrier and time delay. USPS will collect the duty on the import, you won't need to deal with a customs broker or freight carrier. I have a buddy who has bought a couple high end Rossi commemorative AGV helmets from Italy too, and he has had mixed success. One of his helmets showed up in a box that had been mangled and he had to arrange a replacement with US CBP, luckily a replacement was still available once he got the claim check. That being said I don't think you'd save enough money to make it worth the hassle and not have a warranty. The only reason I placed that order though was the parts weren't available in the US.
