    As long as they make it to the address they'll be accepted, no reason why they wouldn't be!

    Just be aware depending on cost of item vat and duty could be due so you may have to factor it into your cost. I'm not sure about address pal, previously with PM I was sent a docket from Royal mail with the amount due and was able to pay royal mail and they released to PM, but im not sure if they are still doing same

    what about customs charges when the item arrives in the uk?

    I had a look and I think you don't have to pay customs if the amount is less than £120 or something, this is only worth £30. So unless I got that wrong should be ok?

    A 30GBP item is very unlikely to be intercepted.
