This advise is coming from Kiya, another member of the forum. Check JK or Entertainment Heaven she said she thinks they have a lens cleaning kit that might help.

well not sure but it may need cleaning. If you had your wii for a long time it may be dusty inside. Maby u are needing cleaner for a dvd or cd player may work.

The lens might cost $300, but the customs? Don't be surprised if those bastards charge more than that when it comes down here. And then there's shipping and handling.

Case in point? My brother ordered a book from away. Only costs 5 US. When it came down, know how much he had to pay?

$76 TT. More than twice the cost of the book alone.
Want to know the kicker?
He still has to pay back the original cost of the book, because the $76 was the customs and shipping and handling alone.



So....don't be surprised if some people charge you out the wazoo for such things.
You never know if they're trying to recoup all of those God awful side costs that come with shipping down the thing in the first place.

Yup. A book. Even my brother was taken aback by the charges.

so it's true then, there is no fixed duty to item list, it's purely to the discretion of the Cutsoms Officer at the time of evaluation. :S

should have bought your own lens and put it in. I bought a mod chip a few years back and paid no duty and the shipping was about $12US
