That's great service! I found the same when I ordered from them I also got some Gaia frit as a thank you . Which was very much appreciated .good postage rate as well

that does sound good - did you have to pay a lot in customs charges though? I have never ordered from US but would like to order a few small items like murrini, just not sure about the customs.

Madam Steph · April 23, 2012, 07:03:41 PM

No Customs charge at all.
It was below the £18.
The glass was on offer $10 per 1/4lb so I had half a pound.
The P&P was $11.25 (or $11.75) can't remember off hand, so in Sterling, the whole deal was £20 incl P&P

Ah, thank you, that was an excellent price then. I didn't know about the £18 bit, off to do a bit of research!

Just to let You know that the customs limit was lowered to £15 X

And a little warning - I got charged because my postage pushed the cost over the limit once. It wasn't a glass order - annoying and a bit cheeky I thought.

Blimey - I always thought that postage wasn't included in the total for customs purposes. That seems a bit naughty.

Madam Steph · April 23, 2012, 08:23:28 PM

Thanks, Trudi. I had forgotten that.
I am still under the impression that the P&P isn't included in the estimating Custom charges though.
Don't they estimate it on the cost of the goods written on the green form?

I think if your purchase value is over they include the postage costs to work out the tax ... but don't quote me on it

At flame off I was told that the labelled Luna 2 was actually mislabeled luna3......just to confuse ....
