Lost and Found on board

A search doesn't come up with many lost and found threads so here's mine.

I left my Kindle on board an EK flight to DXB yesterday. I noticed by the time I got to the lounge but it was too late by then to retrieve it on the day. I was given an email address to contact to see if had been located. By the end of the day I had contacted them, been told it had been located and asked where I would like it sent (EK destination). They would hold on to it for 30 days.

My next transit in DXB is not for 10 weeks so I asked if they would send it to GLA, but was told they can't send to UK airports and would I like it sent FedEx to my home at no further cost?

It seems extremely generous, so before I accept, is there anything I should be aware of? They mentioned UK Customs Charges, so any pointers for these would be appreciated although I can't imagine them being much, if anything.
