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...

BOOO

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.

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.

it makes you feel better. Did they also tell you what the max value is?
