I bought the first set from Leisure Games in the UK and that went just fine, although I almost went nuts waiting for them to get stock to ship while folks on the boards were opening theirs. They are not yet taking pre-orders for Runelords and I don't know if the intend to.
I've decided to subscribe now, as the discount (and my Pathfinder AP discount) mean that the cost should be just about identical to what I paid to get it from Leisure Games.
I am expecting the parcel to be stopped by Customs and be charged 20% VAT at the very least. Runelords is likely to be above the limit where they start to get interested about assessing packages for duty and I'm hoping that will be charged at the 3% default rate if they do impose duty. If I'm correct about those two and the exchange rate doesn't fluctuate too much then the total cost to me should be the same as buying from inside the UK and I'll get the parcel sooner.
So, it comes down to how patient you want to be and how much you want the specials that come with pre-orders. Since you are not an AP subscriber, it would cost you slightly more than me to order direct from Paizo.

Thank you Brock that is just a brilliant answer covering all my worries. I think I will wait and purchase in the UK (I've found Leisure Games on internet).
Must appreciated advice - thanks again.
