Buying goods from the States.

You'll save around 20% on £18 plus P&P so maybe £8. The cost of buying and converting the money order will more than swallow that up!

i blame the government ,if they made this country a duty free one we would be the center of the world for trade ,instead were one of the highest ,we cannot sell our oil at a different price than what the arab cartell tell us to :mad: make gb a low tax country and prosper ,unfortunatly the gov wants us to slowly strangle ourselves into oblivion with unnessesary import duties we could be a new hong kong

All governments need revenue and they get that from taxes. If they were to stop taking in excise duty then they would have to raise their revenue from somewhere else, i.e. a rise in income tax. Therefore you'll have less money to buy all those cheaper goods. So it just goes to show that you can never win.

 

For buying stuff from the States then a friend who travels to your country is probably your best best bet that is if you want to avoid paying excise duty and VAT. It's great to have those type friends
