Do you mind divulging the cost of the items ordered? I'd understand if you'd want to keep that info to yourself, of course!Ive ordered soaps and took around two weeks. No extra custom charges or anything.
However, i have ordered from italianbarber and i paid an extra £12 customs when it arrived.

Okay slight, very quick, edit. Chatting with someone in Maggard Razors, they have stated that all international orders they value at $15.95 so as to avoid import taxes. I have read elsewhere that there's a $16 threshold, or maybe £16 threshold, below which HMRC tend to avoid investigating.
I believe that there's some awkwardness associated with labelling as a gift as if HMRC decide it looks worth more than $16, they'll charge VAT as such anyway. I don't know how true this is but I've seen this being stated/discussed.
Thanks @wayne mattison! I'll probably put the feelers out over here and see whether anything comes back. If that fails I might be able to rely on my sister-in-law's brother (who has recently moved out to the States with his newly-wed) and see whether it's feasible for them to organise something. Otherwise, I'll take the plunge as they're selling for £40 on eBay UK and I don't think it comes to quite that if customs charges are applied for the razor head and handle I'm considering...
