This would look good on a T-shirt.
Talking of T-shirts. I ordered four from the States a few days ago ($87). How likely is it that I'll have to pay duty/taxes on them when they arrive?

ask the company who posted them
maybe they posted them as "gifts" and you'll be lucky?

Their site said something along the lines of:
"We're not responsible, we don't care, look it up yourselves."

you will be paying duty
ven if it was a gift..nto sure what the exchange rate is currently but with a gift if the value is over £36 you pay duty. I think any way.

I think the limit is meant to be something like 30-40 quid.
I used to order bunches of CDs from the US and occasionally they'd sting me. You might get lucky.

I've never had to pay before, but I've never spent this much before.
I hope I won't have to bother.

It is quite annoying.
But it seems to be largely pot luck as to whether they bother.

True
I once got stung quite a lot for just one CD and yet much bigger and more expensive parcels have just slipped through.

Hmm.
Even with that it's still probably cheaper than buying them here. And they're damn cool shirts.
www.designbyhumans.com, if anyone's interested.
Edit: *eats last Ferrero Rocher*. Mmm. Best £1.05 I've spent in a while.

I sort of like their stuff, but I think T-shirts are much nicer when the design covers more of them.

I think that's a bit high
I bought a Popcorn Hour NMT for $224 inc postage (£120) and paid £33 in duty etc. Parcel force the robbing cunts will charge more.
I would guess about a tenner, I hope it's not too much I've just bought 4 t-shirts from the states as well.

Buying stuff from the States tends to vary.
You usually get away with it if it's one item, you might get stung for four though.

Okay, I'll cross all appropriate parts for next time!
I tell you what guys, looking at this growing list of people who have had to back out or can;t make it- we'd be pretty buggered if everyone actually turned up one year!!!

It's the "two thirds" rule.
60 sign up...40 turn up...
30 sign up...20 turn up etc
I'd do mre examples but maths ecapes me!!
