I bought a 'generic' Nikon lens hood, which turned out to be indistinguishable from a real one. I presumed it was coming from China, but it would be under the VAT ransom threshold, so i wasn't too bothered.
When it arrived, it had been posted in the Solomon Islands.
I doubt that I could have posted back "Thanks" written on a small piece of tissue paper for the total of £1:02 that it cost me.
