    fucking incredible isnt it? free shipping and all this fucking moaning.....

    Unfuckingreal.

    Try paying $50 for the shipping overseas...

    my god you might have to drive to a depot and pick it up...get over it.

    Don't forget the additional customs charges!

    I'm still holding out that they won't be charged!!! fingers crossed, as the ames book got through with a low value delcared. I believe back then they were sent to sweden and redirected from there, but I may be wrong on that. saw it posted on here and it did have a swedish stamp on my packaging. You never know, it will be a hard kick if its charged as I got two on the way.....mind you at least they only sting us for 15% these days!!!

    Just called UPS, they were able to add my physical address to the package and they say it will still be delivered on time with no extra charge.

    via UPS, you're 100% guaranteed you'll be charge.
    You cannot avoid customs with courier, unlike regular post where it's more random, they look at EVERY package and tax if above limit (though they rely on what's on the box, so how much will depend if 10c declared it properly, but I don't see them trying to get away with just $20 for a package that size so you'll pay some: 15% VAT on what's declared, including the postage + £11 UPS fee).

    Plus the Ames book is no reference whatsoever since books don't have VAT (in the UK)
