That used to be the case but things are much more stringent now. US Mail packages (as opposed to letters) are handled by ParcelForce who charge a standard £8.50 customs clearance fee and add the customs charge and VAT on top. Excise have tightened up things because of the increase in volume of personal imports driven by internet shopping and favourable exchange rates. -- Fifer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fifer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=639 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39979
