Thought the limit was £36 for gifts - or do they value it at UK price?

In the delivery comment section, ask them to mark the package as a `gift`! I`ve been informed that this works, but have yet to try it myself.

Hope this helps!

For an extra £20 You can get it region 1 with Widescreen picture and 5.1 Dolby surround. Worth it I think.

Hi

I would really appreciate help from you seasoned international mail order buyers.

I was about to order the Sopranos 1 & 2 but this whole customs thing has got me spooked. Having being burned out of ignorance recently with contact lenses (value £66 customs charge £11.70,ended up more expensive than UK supplier Doh!) can anyone advise on....

a)the likelyhood of the package being itercepted ( im ordering series 1 & 2 so it`ll be a pretty hefty package,hard to miss) ? Perhaps I should order individually with a few days inbetween, but i`d like to minimise the p+p costs.

& b) if it is what is the likely charge? The value of the 2 items is approx £60 inc p+p.

I will ask them to mark the package as a gift as another poster suggested, but can they do this? I mean they just might not risk it if its illegal.

Im thinking that if its not too much it could still be a very attractive deal. The best UK based price ive found is £50 per box set from play inc p+p. So theres a big margin of a saving to move in.

Look forwad to receiving your advice.

Regards

James

dont order them both in the same order. You will almost definetly get stung by customs. Customs allow packages to value of £18 excluding p+p to get through or £36 if the package is marked as a gift.
If you get caught, you will have to pay 3.5% import duty, 17.5% VAT and around £1.25 post office cover charge.
