if you buy a cernty amount of items they charge you a small tax a couple of dollars but some time the charge import tax when you get to the uk it is pot luck on this , i have had around about 100-120 shipment from the usa and olny had this once is around £8 pounds
if you are ordering lots of items from amazon usa it is best to use 2 day shipping as you will not recive this tax as it flys through customs0 -
People do it and "never have problems" but there's always a first time.......
I am ALWAYS the "first time"... its sods law. Everybody gets away with it and I try a £20 box set and it will get picked up, I'll get taxed, Bank will cancel my card (as they seem to cancel it if i take a shopping trip to london let alone America!!) and I'd probably discover my DVDs wouldnt play. I love a bargain and I know I'd get addicted if i look at Amazon.com so best stear clear for me, good luck everyone else though (im just too chicken to risk it)0 -
