Tips before buying

  • Amazon Prime free for 30 days — activate before shopping, get free 1‑day delivery. Cancel before trial ends
  • Buy 1–2 weeks before you leave — so you have time to return if something is wrong
  • Check the plug — UK uses Type G (three pins). For tech you take home you may need an adapter
  • Keep receipts — for warranty and in case of customs issues
  • Baggage weight — check your airline limit. Usually 20–23 kg. Extra weight costs £40–100
  • Customs at home — each country has its own duty‑free limits. In Uzbekistan up to $1,000, in Kazakhstan up to €1,000
