    Shipping is fairly expensive but very quick.
    Expect to get stung by a customs bill about a month later. I was caught for about 50 or 60 euro.
    Its not worth the hassle IMO.
    Ebay is much better if you can buy from a reputable seller. Be careful of fakes on ebay though.

    For tax, multiply the cost of the clothes and shipping (convert to euro) by 13.5%, then add that on and multiply the total by 21% to get the tax you'll have to pay, then add on a e5-15 charge by the delivery charge for administration of the tax charge.

    I think that's how it's worked out.

    Fedex paid the tax for me so I am not going to bother.

    they will come looking for it in 2/3months time.

    they pay the charges for you just so they can add an administration charge on top of it and also to get your goods passed customs as quick as possible.

    I got two tops that were like 40e each and the delivery cost was meant to be $50 but on the bill then it was $83. So watch out for that. Still worked out cheaper than if I had bought them over in London they are twice the price of US online ones. :rolleyes:

    I tried that. I ended up paying after the third solicitors letter. Seriously!
