On the other hand, it is a good way to avoid import taxed on the "Value" of the item being shipped.   :P

Unfortunately not in the UK - import duties are charged on the value of the package (including shipping costs!). I have been stung by this more than once buying from Amazon.com.

HUH?!? You've got to be kidding... On shipping costs? Cripes. They have no shame when it comes to looting people.

Nope not kidding - they don't call it Ripoff Britain for nothing  :-[
