If your after speedy delivery Parcel Force or UPS will do it within 3 days for about ยฃ30
The lucky peeps in the US dont pay customs so that`s not an issue for them!!

Buying stuff from the US I've been stung by UK Customs more times than I care to remember, no matter what I get the sender to declare on the parcel. Not always, but it's happened often enough.
