I can't say for sure that the UK will be the same Steve, but for my fellow Aussies...an item valued at $1500 will give you a customs fee of exactly $300.

I'd say it would be similar for UK.

vvenom had his shipped to himself while he was in the states.  That is why he got his sooner.

Scorpion - the blades went USPS Express so they will show tracking.  But USPS Global Express is handled by FedEx.  They probably won't update the tracking until after it is delivered (USPS tracking stinks by the way).

I shipped four international packages as a test on Friday (two sabers and two sets of blades).  The rest won't ship until tomorrow.  All the blades are packed and labeled, they just need to be picked up.  I spent quite a few hours over the weekend getting all the packages ready and forms filled out.  I have a stack of paperwork at least 1/2" tall sitting on my desk for the 8 packages I need to mail tomorrow.  I am not looking forward to spending several hours at the post office while they process all these packages.  The two test packages took over and hour and a half to sort and pay.  I figure I will be at the Post Office for at least 3 to 4 hours tomorrow.  I still have at least one package I need to take care of that is FedEx.  I have to physically go into the local FedEx and fill out all the paperwork there - for whatever reason, I can't figure out how to apply the correct harmonization code for the customs form so I am having a devil of a time getting the labels printed.

last time i imported a $1500 saber from the us the custom fee was £280 if recall correctly which is around $440
thats the cost i got in my head anyway if its any cheaper then bonus!
