Why are you so angry at the ocean? What did it ever do to you?![]()
In this day and age, an online vendor limiting him/herself to domestic sales is doomed.

Too big a risk with things getting lost, broken

The OP requested that we mark the value low ($300) for customs so he would not get hit with a ton of import duties

the point is it's VERY expensive to get your hands on an amp like this in the UK, so people roll the dice with the valuation and try to save some coin.
it is illegal, and it is a HUGE risk, this whole scenario is a good lesson for all of us outside the US about the dangers of trying to save money by doing a move like this

Absolutely, though I believe Musik Produktiv now sell Friedman gear (albeit at a pretty hefty mark-up).
