I have received my Music Pad Pro that I had shipped from Music 123 USA, to UK. I received a letter from Parcelforce to pay the duty and then they would deliver. I live fairly near the depot and went and picked it up. The total to pay was 62.60 pounds made up of the following: Import Duty 7.13 : VAT 47.47 : Parcelforce Clearance fee 8.00.

I opted for the basic delivery and that took 3 weeks from the date of dispatch to my picking it up. I wasn't able to track it with this method though. Everything appeared to be in the box but was a bit miffed that the instruction book is a pdf file on the CD which means of course the customer pays for the printout instead of the manufacturer. There was a getting you started basic booklet which is very basic.

It was considerably cheaper than buying in UK.

I haven't used it yet as thought it prudent to leave it on charge for 2 days, then 2 hours as previously mentioned. The power supply is a 110-240 AC to 12v DC. The plug is a USA plug but I have a converter plug which I plug it into, then into the UK mains. I guess the USA plug can be snipped off and the wires put into a normal UK plug, but I can cope with it as is and I want to prove that it works OK before doing that.

I hope this helps any UK people interested in buying this product from USA. I still have a bank account and credit cards in USA so payment was no problem however the exchange rate is favourable for us Brits at the moment so using a UK credit card should give a reasonable exchange rate.
