I'm interested in buying some stuff from IMA and wondering if anyone on here can let me know what their buying experiences with them have been like before I commit. All replies gratefully received.

The couple of kits I've had from him arrive very well packaged, almost a work of art in themselves, payment & delivery to the UK was very prompt, considering it's from Asia...

I've heard of no problems from other buyers, so you'd be pretty safe, but consider carefully how UK customs service will wallop you.

EG, if under £18, ask him to mark up customs declaration as such, as the PO will lovingly & efficiently OPEN your package & charge you £8.00-£12.00 for the privilage, AS WELL AS whatever customs want to charge.
Don't get me started!

I couldn't possibly tell you to have him mark the package as a gift as that's naughty! & I think they were sent as business parcels.

Check my 1st (only) blog for my thoughts & experience on building the IMA kit
