Yes, but I wouldn't want to pay the postage from the States to the UK...

Maybe he'll don his cape and tights and fly it home on his back, just like Superman himself. I don't believe he ever had to pay tax...

Lyn, ref your post above, what's the script for goods ordered from the states (accessories) ref import duties & vat etc ?

Reason I ask, thought I read somewhere that ALL goods coming into the UK are supposed to be opened by customs & excise & checked out etc but a couple of peeps I have spoken to say that that would be impossible to do therefore they only do random checks of a small percentage of parcels arriving in the UK


Have bought some stuff in the past from Guernsey and have managed to save the VAT and also stuff from the states that were marked as Gifts

Can you shed some wisdom please as I am about to order a sh!tload of accessories from the states but if there could be any hassle then probably wont bother
