Globe Venus 4.5" with Base, Solar Powered Rotating Globe No Need of Battery or Chord, Unique Gift and Decoration

I originally noticed some of these elsewhere and I liked them immediately. I saw that the company, Mova, was selling them on Amazon so I bought one. It was pricey at around £186 in my opinion but I wanted it so it was worth it to me. The problem arose when the item was despatched from a subsidiary in Germany called Mova Europe. The good old UK HM Revenue & Customs demanded an extra £48.06 before they would release it for delivery in the UK. Strictly speaking I realise this isn't the fault of Mova rather its HM Revenue & Customs shamelessly profiteering but nothing was mentioned when I originally ordered it and nearly £50 is a lot of money. The actual item, however, is really good and would be getting 5 stars but for the issue mentioned. It spins away in ambient light and gets glowing remarks from everyone who has seen it. I would even think about buying some of the other planets except for HM R & C's colossal greed!
