Ant,
I would say, Go for it. Just research the suppliers you intend to use.
If you check everything there should not be any hidden costs. If you were in Australia I could tell you what you would pay for Gov duties etc, but EU, sorry have no idea.
All dealings I have had, the suppliers have packed very well. I have had absolutely no issues or damage when buying from the US.
I buy direct from OPT, Astronomics, Starlight Instruments, Island Eyepiece & Telescope. All very reputable & good to deal with. I'm sure others here can recommend other good dealers.
