Common questions

What does the middle half of prices mean?

Half of the listed products in a category are priced inside the range shown, a quarter below it and a quarter above. It stops a few very cheap or very expensive listings from skewing the picture.

Do these prices include delivery and import duties?

No. They are listed product prices. A landed quote from The Humanoid Group adds delivery and import duties to your door.
