I'm in the UK and found the easiest way from our perspective is to buy things like this on eBay from Europe because the value is low enough for the eBay platform to add the import VAT at the time of purchase.

That means it arrives fairly quickly and you will not have to pay any VAT or exorbitant handling fees when it arrives.

However! It seems to have gone very wrong in my case, as I ordered both items separately and paid VAT up-front on both, along with two lots of postage; but the seller posted them in the same parcel so the combined value took it over the threshold for prepaid VAT, so I got a message from royal mail saying I will have to pay VAT etc.

Double vatted! 

This wil be fun to sort out, but at least it's not a massive amount.

Thanks @paulmerton

maybe some German member can help us tp order in this 2 site 😜

Not exactly precious metals, but not particularly cheap either!

A pair of 1.5-inch solid metal cubes.

The tungsten one weighs exactly 1kg, which feels unearthly heavy for something so small (unless you happen to have a 1kg gold bar!). In contrast, the aluminium (sorry, aloominum) cube feels unfathomably light and it's hard to believe it's not hollow.

As some of you may have noticed, I was recently after the special silver 2016 Canadian Maple Leaf with the Mark V tank privy mark (50k mintage) that commemorated 100 years of the tank. 

As is typical, you wait ages for one and then four come along at once

Finally got one of these. Found it in the Harmers Auction yesterday. A gold proof coin created by the Royal Mint to mark the Ghana being declared a republic. 15000 minted however many have been melted down so not many of them left
