Holy shit! I usually only order one or two shirts at a time. Then the customs don't bother. Only times I got taxed was when I ordered hoodies.

Monkey II on Jan 08 '07 at 6:50am

Normally I order just one shirt too -- like the moneyshot one. No extra taxes at all. I guess it's a bit too heavy now -_-'

And I only get the hoodie. The rest are presents.

Tough luck! My first order was 8 or 9 shirt and the customs did'nt let me slip through eighter! Then I heard that in my country (Finland that is) the magic line is $40 and the next order came perfectly to my door :)

I paid about 40� of customs taxes on the wii I won from the e for all comp. they call it tax, I call it a fine.

Been stung by the customs people in the UK before. I don't mind the customs fee itself, it's the 8 quid "processing feee" that annoys - especially when it's more than the actual customs charge.
