Thanks Martin, please let me know if it arrives OK, and that it's the one as pictured on their website (VR version).

Cheers John

I'd be seriously concerned about using this company.

Order Placement And Import : By placing an order with ValueBasket.com, you accept all responsibility for ensuring that your purchase can be imported in accordance with the laws of the country to which you have requested ValueBasket.com to ship your purchase and you also agree that you are the sole importer for the purchase of your product for all purposes, including but not limited to customs regulations, copyright and trademark laws and you agree to comply with all laws and regulations of the country in which the goods are received. To this end, you acknowledge and agree that ValueBasket.com's role is limited to procuring your purchased products in Hong Kong and other regions, and making these products available through the website to you for purchase in Hong Kong and for your import to your country. Under no circumstances will ValueBasket.com be party to the import of such products nor will ValueBasket.com be responsible for any liability arising under the laws of any country other than Hong Kong for the import and sale of products available on the site, including without limitation customs regulations and customs holds, detentions and seizures and copyright and trademark laws. Customers outside Hong Kong authorize ValueBasket.com to make arrangements for customs clearance on their behalf for the purchases made. Customs clearance procedures may mandate the opening and inspection of cross-border deliveries.

This company is clearly Hong Kong based, despite the .co.uk domain name. They even go so far as stating that they're only subject to Hong Kong law - I would have thought that they would be subject to the laws of whichever country they're selling in. However, if they are merely an "importer" and not a retailer, then it probably works differently.

Good luck with getting satisfaction if things go wrong.
