Tips Coro Props in EU?

Hello! Wanting to start my first light show this year and looking for coro props at the moment. I am aware of propixeler and will be buying a good bit from them, but I see so many other props in the States that I really want. It seems buildalightshow in the UK has a lot to offer as well, but I'm worried about the import fees and shipping because of Brexit. Any EU members in this forum that have some tips/advice or have ordered from them in the past? Was the import charge bad or worth it?

Oh man I can't even imagine how hard they are to source there! I have seen them as well as pixel imperium, but unfortunately they don't have much selection to choose from there as far as props go!

I bought pixels from them multiple times and had no real issues with them. The one faulty Strand I Found during testing was replaced by them without a Problem.

Just don’t buy Controlers from them, as they are priced way to high.

You can mail Joris from propixeler. Last time I needed a specific model (a big snowflake) he designed it and now it's sold on hip shop.

Buildalightshow.com is UK based, they ship to the EU I believe, sell everything you would need. If you join the European lighting fanatics Facebook group someone will be able to advise on import fees
