I never include customs charge as thats highly unpredictable going off the charges ive had in the past. I think of custom charge as exactly what it is, tax on importation and don't include that when evaluating wether to purchase a product from abroad.
p.s. ive generally also paid a higher percentage of import costs to royal mail rather than customs and excise, royal mail are the real theiving gets in this equation.
However, including shipping, cost total was more or less on the nose £200 via paypal a couple of weeks ago and I dont think the pound has dropped much if any more since then.
