Just the once (out of 10/11 times). But I've heard other people have had worst experience than me, guess I've been lucky.

Shipping to UK, expect to pay $60-75 shipping per ball (airmail).

In gereral, you'd save more if you get the high-end balls, though I did find some bargains on ebay. Don't forget to get it drilled you'd probably have to pay £30 at your local proshop.

It's only worth it if you are a crazy ball junkie like me; if you only get 2-4 balls a year, it maybe easier to get it locally.  

Later!

£65 VAT/Custom    Though that was a 2-ball parcel, I think they were 2 Lane1 balls.

Thieving government!
