Sunglasses ?

I figure as its still freezing outside it might be a good time to grab some decent sunglasses at a nice price.

Any advice on shops to try or sales that are on at present ?

Thanks

    Do you have to pay import charges/taxes from States?

    Okay, this accepted, what are the charges if they do get stopped, and what is the likelyhood?
    Do you still get a significant discount over UK prices from importing from US?

  • You can get sunglasses free if you like J-low perfume, Boots have an offer on at mo, I noticed it on line last night,spend £25 on J-low scent and get a pair J-low sunglasses for free. Not sure if this applies instore as well, but I am thinking of doing this, as I love the J-Low Glow and am hinting like mad for some for my birthday!!

    I'm not too keen on fakes as the lens can sometimes be worse for your eyes than none at all. Does anyone know what the rate of taxes are for the import of Genuine Oakleys from a shop/site/dealer in the US?
