not sure if you can do this, but I know some companies do.
and that is to get around the import taxes, that on the packaging you could put \'Gift\'
I\'ve just got a bill for the last package for an extra £10 for taxes...

We can\'t mark it as a gift unless it really is, but we do mark the \"value\" at aproximately our cost of replacement, which should help quite a bit.

<hr /></blockquote><font class=\"post\"> wow, I´ve never paid customs in the UK! Sounds like they got a bit stricter now /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
i\'ve never had to pay tax for things sent to the UK from love scent /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif is it a random procedure, i.e. they decide to tax random packages, and so far I\'ve just been lucky?

yeah this is the first time I\'ve ever payed custom tax...must be a random thing...they pick a package and do the paper work, every 1000 or so...I dont know...they must be overwelmed with packages to keep up with it all.
I´ve paid more than that if it makes you feel better. Did they also tell you what the max value is?
