I have .25cal and with heavier pellets it does have some kickback so I thought that mounting a barrel clamp could have positive effect on accuracy and consistency.
I didn't find any other place that sells it so I have ordered it on April 15th.
90 GBP + 50 GBP for shipping (59,3 € for shipping! $67)
On the same day I have ordered Arca Rail for the AW from PRS.
PRS has charged me 35 GBP (41,5 € / $47) for shipping for a much bigger and heavier box.
PRS shipped the arca rail on 17th of April by UPS
It arrived in my country on 22nd of April
Customs had to be handled since UK is not a part of EU any more, but everything is handled by local UPS and communication is done by email.
I've received the arca rail on 28th of April

Daystate shipped the barrel clamp on April 20th (5 days to ship an item? OK, as with everything else, Daystate is a bit slow but whatever...)
Daystate shipped the barel clamp in a "Large Letter" envelope using Royal Mail, in essence, using ordinary post office, not a courier.
"Letter" arrived in my country on April 24th.
***this part is not Daystate's or Royal Mail's fault but my country's postal services fault
My county's postal service is so slow, lazy and inefficient (I could write a hundred more issues with them but then this would turn into a political rant) that it took them almost a month to handle and deliver the package!
Package was delivered yesterday, May 21st.
So, what do I have against Daystate and their shipping?
For one, they've robbed me for 37 GBP (44€ / $50)
Large letter, 150 grams, International Tracked and Signed with insurance up to 250 GBP costs 12.90 GBP
For two, what about VAT?
I live in EU, not UK, they should have removed VAT from the 90 GBP for the barrel clamp
PRS did remove VAT and in addition, all their prices are shown with and without VAT so you know in advance how much does the product costs you depending where you live.
For three, inadequate packaging
Thin bubble wrap bag in a thin envelope.
You've charged me 150 GBP for that barrel clamp, packaging should withstand a nuclear blast!
Luckily, barrel clamp is ok and fragile electrical connections are fine but the envelope was all banged up, any more of the postal service abuse, barrel clamp would be damaged.
For final number four, they have cheaped out and chose worse shipping method possible so they could cash in a little something extra which is really low in my opinion.

Daystate is really not to blame for my country's poor postal service but if they used a courier, any of many, everything would move much quicker so I do partially blame them for delivery time as well.
But to cheap out like that just to put few more coins in their pocket makes no sense to me.
Sorry for this folks, I just had to let of some steam.
If admins lock this thread or delete it, I'll understand...
