I always got what I bought it was the hassle of getting it cleared through customs, then the cost of having a land shipper get it to me that ended up being far more than I anticipated.

They call you when it arrives and you use a "company" to clear customs they need all kinds of information I cant even remember what now "a power of attorney to act as your agent I believe". The once this fee is done then the land shipper gets involved. That cost about $400 for a piece I bought in Vietnam.

I really think if you can go to the port where your shipment arrives, clear customs yourself and load it in your car and go home you will be fine. If you are landlocked like me forget it.
