Scardey, thats the site I found
didn't find the hoodie though 
Thanks girls, but I still prefer the one from the US
I suppose I need to know whether tax/duty is paid on just the value of the goods, or the total bill, including delivery. I'd like to get him the hoodie, and a tshirt, which would come to just over £30. Shipping would take the order to over £38
Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:Loves being a Wonderbra friend :kisses3:

Spud I think it is on the whole order including p&p sadly. Its all writen down on the customs/import form as seperate but I think customs just look at the total amount inc shipping You can do it and take a chance that is isn't caught it depends. I ordered something for £42 before shipping and it didnt get caught thankfully... However that was around 4 months ago 0 -

I recently ordered DH and DS some slippers. Again, couldnt find any they liked here, so they're coming from US and postage is taking that over £38. I think I'll wait to see what happens with that before I order again Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:Loves being a Wonderbra friend :kisses3:
