Hello, I am new to the forums and so I don't know if I am posting this in the right place...

I have been looking at buying a Saberforge saber for quite some time now, in particular a Champion Acolyte (Viridium Sound font, Medium/Deep blue). I was wondering whether there are any additional postage/customs charges for ordering to the UK, and whether I would be better of buying from the main site or etsy, as well as any general thoughts on the Acolyte as a whole.

Thanks.

Any purchase from abroad entering the uk over the value of £25-40 will have VAT and customs charges added to it before it will be delivered. VAT is 20% of the total value.

As for shipping, I don't know what the cost is but the website and etsy will let you know during checkout. If you purchase a blade it will be very expensive.
Just the basics

In case of Poland, they add 23% VAT and I think 5% Customs chargers for whatever reasons (although I'm not entirely sure about the 5%). Plus they take their sweet time holding it and figuring out what it is, despite the documentation you deliver. Again, for PL, shipping is $25 (~20 gbp) whereas Etsy's shipping is around $60 (~45 gbp).
It's never too late to go back.
