Here's how to get Chinese Schick injector blades from Amazon for less money than Connaught used to charge:Looks like I'll be retiring my 67 year-old PAL Injecto-Matic. The blades offered on Amazon and ebay are too dear for regular use.
So you already have paid VAT and Royal Mail won't have to collect it and charge you ransom...Amazon said:AmazonGlobal offers customers customs duties, taxes and fees ("Import Fees") estimation during checkout and customs clearance on your behalf.

For AmazonGlobal items, you won't be charged additional fees if the actual Import Fees exceed the Import Fees Deposit we estimated.

If the actual Import Fees are less than the Import Fees Deposit collected by us on your behalf, you'll automatically be refunded the difference.

Thank you for the info, have 8 magazines on their way, cheap as chips!Here's how to get Chinese Schick injector blades from Amazon for less money than Connaught used to charge:
Get them on ↪Amazon US.
I just put 8 magazines (2 packs of 4) in my basket. Here is what I get at checkout:
That's £5.52 per magazine. Delivered.

I just checked the cost of ordering 4 magazines and the price per magazine is £6.02

So don't retire your PAL Injectomatic just yet, or if you do - give it to me
Disclaimer: That's my interpretation of things. If you do get stung, don't blame me
Let us know how it works out. As I said - I ordered 4 delivered to Germany. The expedited shipping was slightly more (I needed to make sure they arrived before my brief trip there tomorrow), but I wasn't charged any VAT or duty...Thank you for the info, have 8 magazines on their way, cheap as chips!
I've ordered from the states before and as long as you use global shipping there are no extra charges this end so will be cool.Let us know how it works out.
