I recently went through a UK Customs reimbursement application process and it was not pretty. It was for an electronic audio device that I had shipped back to Ireland from my home in Massachusetts. I did, ultimately, meet with success, though I was not reimbursed for the entire total(11.5 GBP of the fee was not refundable). I also had to set up an international bank account through www.TransferWise.com in order to receive the money.

Having said all that, I have purchased two Emeralds(a Kestrel and an X30) and have never ran into any issues regarding customs fees. Further, my experience with UPS was, in both cases, excellent, albeit at $95 a pop. I have no complaints.
