The postage problem is the same to the Czech Republic, but at least we are in Europe. I was quoted nearly 30 quid for posting a key blank, I said thank you but no thank you and bought from somewhere else.
"Normal" postage of 10 to 15 quid you just have to accept if you want the goods. I am lucky though, as a last resort I can get something posted to my brother in the UK and get it sent on.
