Just had a look. It has three seasons. You can buy the seasons individually for £12.99 each on Amazon - total £39.0 -
Saw a post or two earlier about buying a KitchenAid mixer from the US to take advantage of the lower price. I've had a look into it and reckon it's not worth it.
Don't think Customs Duty would apply as it's waived below £9, and the item value may be below the threshold anyway. It's difficult to work this out as the rates aren't readily available though. You would have to pay import VAT at 20% though.
You would also have to pay a significant postage cost as it's a heavy item, say £20-£30 I reckon.
I'd also be concerned about it arriving broken, and they you face the real problem of trying to get customer service for it.
You'd also have to buy a step-down transformer to convert the voltage from 240 to 110.
So all in I think the savings would not actually be that great, and you would have a hell of a risk in terms of customer service.
i think that poster was planning on buying it but having it shipped back when his parents move back to the uk with all their stuff.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0 -

Morning everyone! My Lovefilm arrived today, and I can confirm it worked on an existing/active account. I logged in, went to 'my account', scrolled down to the bottom where there's a gift subscription thing (says you want to give a gift or you've received one), and it asks you to enter the code. Sorted!
Good luck to everyone today!
I tried last night and couldn't get it to work! When I entered it it just went back to the home page and my next bill date is still showing as end of december0 -
