D Z Strad 200C Braided Carbon Fiber Violin Bow 4/4 with Fluer-de-lys Frog

I absolutely love the bow. Great balance and lovely to play. However, it ended up not being so much of a bargain I thought it was going to be. I received a nice little postcard through the door from the post office saying they wouldn't deliver the bow until the custom charge had been paid £25.43. I obviously paid it but I'm disappointed that neither the seller or Amazon had included it in the price of the item or had even warned me of the charge....What choice did I have in the end?
