I have an account with Wise (and a debit card) where you get the actual exchange rate and pay a small fee.
Last time I ordered a tank set I saved probably £30-40 in bank exchange rate fees.
You can similarly pay for stuff from Europe in Euros etc…

James, as you have used Yamyia before to receive tanks can you advise if you have been charged extra for delivery to the UK as Yamyia are now saying that the UK is in "UPS Extended Area" as as a result they want an additional 4000 JPY. They are now asking for 34,000 JPY, or around £225 on which I will then have to pay 20% VAT making it around £270 just for the postage for the tank which is getting a bit silly!!!!!!!!!
Can you, or anybody else who has actually had deliveries from Yamyia, please advise your/their own experience?

Sadly, that is now the case and your maths are correct. Eye watering option.
I have a Custom SIlver K2 (JDM colour scheme) tank and cover set here in the UK, surplus to requirements if anyone wants to buy it? https://www.yamiya750.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=246_157_271_242&products_id=2657

I'm going off the idea of a Yamiya body kit with each post. I think I may look for a good used tank with some DSS side panels and get them off to Menno.
Sesman:
Or get it all from Menno in one hit as he often has kits for sale in stock? It may represent a best value, least hassle solution?

I’m not knocking Menno’s work (which is outstanding and I’m a big advocate of his) but in all honesty, I don’t think you can better the finish of the Yamiya supplied paint sets. The quality on every single set I’ve bought from them is simply outstanding and the best I’ve seen. Just a personal opinion.
