With your VAT and other fees and shipping, it must drive up the cost considerably for you on these porcelain/ceramic items as the boxes are quite large and weighty. My experience with Lemax and Dept56 is that they really pack their items well in the manufacturers box with perfectly formed Styrofoam inner package to protect the breakable contents. I this Ripley has some Xmas Layout videos showing all his Dept56 and Lemax lighted buildings.
