Hi I'm after a madbull Vikings tactical 13 inch battle rail but every shop in the uk I know about either doesnt sell them or is out of stock. Is it me or do most of the big names have thousands of items for sale and only about 30 in stock.. Any idea where I could get one? Thanks

It's a bit too gucci for UK retailers.
I'd imagine between WGCshop, Airsoft global, UNCompany and eHobby you'd be able to find one in HK pretty easily. It'll cost basically the same amount in the end, maybe even a quid or two cheaper (particularly if you take advantage of a certain service that WGC and UnCo offer).

It's illegal unfortunately, so I can't post it publicly (nor do I condone or make use of it... of course...).
You will get stung with customs though, that's just a fact of importing these days. Very occasionally a small package might get through, but I'm talking 1 in 1000 here. Basically every purchase I've made in the last 2 years has been from HK or the US, I've gotten away with one tiny box out of dozens and dozens of packages.

Well, if they write the cost of shipping on the paperwork, you'll have VAT at 20% (so, £20) and then a 'handling fee' (*ahem* bs) of about £13 from parcel force. The threshold for import duty is something like £160 (very roughly, don't have a customs label to hand for a change) so you won't be straying in to that territory.

No you can't I'm afraid, it's perfectly legal for them to charge you that handling fee.
Technically they cannot hold your package while they await payment, but you'll have to spend ages arguing with them and quoting legislation and then still be legally bound to pay them upon delivery anyway.
