    contact the seller and see if they'll lie and state a lower value than what you paid on the customs form. i think anything under $10 or 15 doesn't get charged. it's easy on ebay but with legit stores they probably won't.

    For ordering bootlegs order them each seperately (makes no difference to the shipping costs) and you should be fine.

    I'm presuming you are in the UK where customs/tax kicks in above £18.
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    Do make sure you order boots separately. I ordered the first five in one go and had to pay an extra £15 at this end. Have ordered them one by one since then with no problems.

    Sorry my friend, welcome to the club, you're not the only one, I am paying for every item 35% to 40% for any goods I order no matter the price (cd's, t-shirts, posters ecc.) on everything. It's sucks, specially when my friends in other city's same country are not paying anything, it just my customs post office that loves me a lot...nothing I can do.

    such beautiful people to offer us a reprieve. i would gladly do it because i trust that no one would even bother to open the boxes.
    can't the guys that run the dispatch of goods just make it look like it came from a friend as a gift???!!
