    Just found free international shipping code for orders more than $100

    INTLSHIP

    No sure of expiry date - just worked for me. Used it because 10% first order code (HEYTHERE) was less than shipping

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

    July's Glamour mag are giving away a free benefit lipgloss this month. If you go to Tesco, they have a voucher booklet near the mag's which includes one to give you an extra 50p off, so £13 lipgloss for £1.50! :D Choice of 3 colours.

    oooh ive just ordered this now im thinking about import tax - anone know anything about this?
    Import duty applies to items over £18.00. The import duty is generally a couple of percent, depending what the item is, but can be a lot more. However you will also be charged VAT on the item including the postage and then the post office add a £3.50 collection charge (if I remember rightly, on a small item). I occasionally import guitars from Japan and usually end up adding about £70 to the cost but it's mostly VAT, then on a large item I get charged £13.50 collection charge!! Still much cheaper then buying in the UK though.
    Hope all you young ladies enjoy your goodies!

    I mentioned on here earlier that I ship many things from America, still the only thing they charge me for is guitars I import. Think it depends largely on the size of the parcel as to whether they notice it. If only the guitars could be sent in small boxes :(
