Though I made the mistake of buying from eBay for a couple of quid extra because it was a UK seller who promised quick delivery, but actually, it was "drop-shipped" from China - perhaps even from Banggood...
It's in kit form, but it doesn't take long to assemble. Perversely, the cheaper ones are generally pre-built. Banggood also do cases for them.
It's a dangerous website. Lots of temptation
I never especially enjoyed fixing the old ones that had a habit of repeatedly releasing the magic smoke. But designers have got very good at this game, and now they tend to wear out rather than blow up
Looking at the Banggood site they seem to have it assembled for £22.43:

or as a kit with case for £16.64

Not 100% sure these are the same thing.
For £6 it seems hardly worth doing the assembly myself. Although in theory if it's under £18 it will come in without VAT while the ready built one won't. I don't mind the VAT but the £13.50 fee from RM or Parcelfarce is OTT for a small order.
Anyone with experience of orders from Banggood and VAT/fees?
