This is why I've not imported except where it is the only solution. You are
best to find a USA based friend and get him / her to buy for you and forward
it as a christmas / birthday / anniversary present..... or, if the item is
expensive enough, a weekend in New York to collect the item always goes down
well with your partner.

items around

I have just been mugged by UK. customs  :-(   .Expected 135mm macro plus
vario tube arrived today. Cost $365 including insured post. Import duty,
VAT. and collection cost by parcelforce added £66.50 / $100 to the cost. I
hope the lens is as good as advertised. The added charges mean I would have
been better advised to buy in the UK from a dealer, with the security of
being able to easily send it back if it was "duff". Final irony....My
daughter did not have the cash handy, Parcelforce could not take Visa so the
parcel will have to be redelivered. I will think very carefully before
importing from the States again  :-(   Regards
John Duggan, Wales, UK.
