Hello everyone

Not sure if this is in the right forum but couldn't find anywhere else to put it.

I am trying to get a present for this special someone and they collect the Swarovski African Wildlife things, and they are missing the leopard.

The only thing is the leopard has now been discontinued but I know there are still some places out there that have them but as of yet can't find them, does anyone know of any stores or websites where goods are shipped from the UK (as I don't want to risk it coming from the states, plus its £160 so the import on that would kill me!) where I might be able to find one?

Thanks for any help you can give in advance

Hello

Thanks for the replies - Bunty's have actually sold out and the one on Ebay for £140 appears to be a fake, I don't mind using ebay though, have looked on there but cant find anything at the moment. I will pay import tax from Europe (or can I get it tax free with this tax free shopping thing they have going on?) just importing anything from the USA seems a good idea until Customs demand their share and the price then shoots right up (although not sure how much it would be as you are allowed to import £145 from the states then pay tax on anything above that, so wonder if that would be the same in this case or would it be tax on the whole lot?)

Sorry for all the questions, its all confusing when it comes to importing and exporting stuff, and tax is not my best thing either!

MB - the piece was discontinued in October this year I think, so hopefully there should at least be some still knocking around *fingers crossed*

Earl of B - yup they are very special
