It appears they're dirt cheap on eBay.  I went to eBay UK and search for "dx3800" and it came up with the following:\n\nhttp://search.ebay.co.uk/search/search.dll?cgiurl=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.co.uk%2Fws%2F&fkr=1&from=R8&satitle=DX3800&category0=\n\nThere are loads of sets of 4 or 12 cartridges for about £5, so I think that's the sort of thing you're after.  Double check all the details first of course, and don't be afraid to ask the seller any questions.  You don't need to be in a rush to buy them - there's SO many on there ending all the time.\n\nAll the best - I hope that helps!

I bet it depends if there is an operating sytem or software on it. I don't think just shipping computer "parts" would be illegal. It would be a royal pain regardless, proably get ripped apart at customs.

There are in the main three types of tax/duty you may be charged if you import more goods than is your personal allowance when entering the U.K. from a third country (do not confuse this with third-world country). These 'taxes' are:\n\n1. Customs duty. (Applicable to all goods entering the U.K. from countries outside the European Union - calculated as an ad-valorum duty {invoice price abroad + transport/shipping costs +delivery costs}).\n\n2. Excise duty. (Applicable to Tobacco, cigarettes, alcohol, oils etc - calculated by weight, alcoholic strength and volume).\n\n3. VAT. (This is an ad-valorum tax, levied on all goods - in the U.K there are three rates, 17.5% standard rate, 5% reduced rate {domestic gas and electricity} and zero rate {food, childrens clothing, newspapers and books etc. There are also items exempt from tax of which there are few and far between.)\n\nIf you declare the goods at a Customs 'red point' then you may be asked to pay customs duty (depending on where you purchased your goods), you will have to pay excise duty (if they are tobacco or alcohol products) and you will have to pay VAT in addition to customs and excise duty.\n\nAny transgression i.e. using the Green Channel is deemed as smuggling and action will be taken, the least of which is seizure of the goods.\n\nTravelling from the European Union is totally different - there is no onus on the traveller to declare goods purchased in a member state as they are deemed to have paid all relevant European (which includes the U.K.) taxes. However if a traveller is stopped by a Customs Officer and the traveller has excise goods, he or she may be asked by the Officer to account for those goods - if after interview the Officer is satisfied the goods are for resale and/or money or favours have been exchanged for the goods, then the goods and any vehicle used to transport the goods are deemed forfeit to the Crown. (This policy does not include accessionary countries - Poland, Czech Republic etc) \n\nUntil 2005 H.M. Customs and Excise were assigned the collection of this revenue (indirect taxation) and all proceeds from payment of duties and VAT went to H.M. Treasury, detections that resulted in seizure only (some non-EU and all EU seizures) were completed with destruction of the goods. \n\nSince 2005 H.M. Customs and Excise have been combined with the Inland Revenue who dealt with direct taxation (income tax and the like). \n\nAll revenue collected is passed to H.M. Treasury for distrubution to the various Governmental and non-Governmental Departments for use to 'benefit' the public (politicians decide).\n\nHope this helps and give a little more detail - or there again muddies the waters.......

You can purchase memory or RAM from bestbuy or other electronic stores. They can also install it for you if you are unfamiliar.

This is easy.  Get your credit card from Nationwide.  They are the only UK issuer they do not charge you a commission for using your card abroad.  \nRemember though to always pay in the local currency and not in Sterling (otherwise you'll attact a DCC charge).\n\nNationwide actually lose money on the foreign transactions - they have to pay Visa a 1% conversion fee!  \n\nMost of their competitiors charge 2.75% commission!

It's nothing to do with microsoft, any action you take is against the shop where you purchased it.\n\nDepending on it's age it may have to be sent for testing before you get it exchanged/repaired.\n\nIn the UK if it is under 6 months old it is deemed to be inherently faulty and you can demand a replacement, over 6 months you have to prove the fault existed, if you can't then repair is the only option unless the supplier cannot repair

In UK the Voltage Differ is 230V. But in China it is 115V. \nSo it wont work in china except some devices. So before you buy any products from overseas please check this. This is very very important.

I would contact Customs and Excise and see how you go about gaining a licence to import them. They will advise you of the legal side too.
