Nice workaround

I was quite pleased
However to repeat the scheme I might have to make friends with a squaddie.

Quelle dommage
What amplifier was it, by the way?

My Ampeg Reverberocket
I prefer the reverb on it to a fender or marshall. It probably my favourite amp of the three I have.

Ooh nice
I've got an ok reverb pedal, but there's nothing quite like the real thing.

It especially nice when you hit a reverb amp and get that crash, you just can't get than on a pedal

Variant:
Some countries have parts that are outside their customs laws, IE Heligoland for Germany or Kleinwalsertal for Austria.

The process is thus:
1) Order something to your contact in one of these areas.
2) No VAT or import duty is levied.
3) Have contact repack item into random box, sans manuals, warranty cards, etc.
4) Add dirt (finger smears on screens, sand in shoes, etc.).
5) Have contact reship stuff to you with a note reading 'You forgot this stuff, you twat. You owe me postage and a beer'.
6) Happiness

Saved me a few grand so far on things like cameras and laptops. Customs opened a package with a camera once, but aparrently believed the story it told.
