I'm thinking of ordering a record from an American website. Does anyone in the UK have any experience with the import tax and duty you have to pay? I read somewhere that goods under £18 in value are exempt (unless they are alcohol, tobacco products, perfume or toilet waters). |

Well I've ordered from america plenty of times and never paid the tax. Plus I just brought back a couple of hundred quids worth of music and DVDs and not paid. Maybe I've been lucky. |

Play.com operate out of Jersey (as a nice tax dodge that allows the low prices I presume)- my brother's gf has a house in jersey and they're always driving cars back and for on ferries etc. and clocking up days there for tax avoidance :P |

Naughty, naughty. I wanted to order from soleilmoon, but I can't figure out how much they are going to charge to ship a 12". You have to pay $2.50 for insurance anyway, plus then something like $15 to ship to the UK. Bah. |

That's stupid price. If it's buying privately then it's understandable but otherwise that's stupid. I paid $6 for a 12" from America once. That's including postage. It's cost more than that to post in England. Actually that was a private sell/buy as well. Don't pay $15 for postage for a record. |

I agree that it is too much, but the 12" in question is venetian snares - shitfuckers! And I can't find it cheaper anywhere here. |

Click and use the advanced search and you'll probably find what you want. I've used this site loads of times. Always gone for good ratings and Gemm guarenteed ones though. |
