I've had loads of things shipped from the U.S. Things as much as £80 haven't been taxed as there small and slip through easily. The only thing that was, was my guitar, which obviously is a little more noticeable!
I hope we all get away with no tax!0 -
What could be hazmat about a mascara and a shower cap!!:D0

Thanks OP, this looks fantastic - I am wondering if it's worth hanging on to see if the Bathing Beaty set is restocked as I've always wanted to try the body stuff but it is SO expensive over here!0

Hi everyone, i ordered off this site the end of last year, products came to about £30 and i wasn't charged any import tax at all. Goods came well packaged and quite quickly. Will definitely use this site again. Seems silly to pay UK prices if you can wait a few extra days!!!0

Nice find.
If you are worried, then pay $1 and have it gift wrapped
I've been hit for tax before (v infrequent). I wrote them a letter including a pic of the gift wrapped item and said if I'd known they were going to charge me to receive my own birthday gift then I wouldn't have bothered.
They sent me a nice reply cancelling the charge.
EDIT: Just realised, all these HAZMAT packages coming through Customs...lol.0 -
