£18 is the VAT free limit... so you may be lucky, or you may not - the VAT's not the killer it's the £8 that Royal Mail slap on top. Daft not to break up the order into non-VATable lumps with the free shipping code 
Just looked at my last package from FX and it's declared on the outside exactly as per the order - "Beauty Supplies - $21.98" - and that was 2 Tabac Cakes at $10.99 each....

Just a small update here re: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.FragranceX.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.FragranceX.com</a><!-- m --> and how they ship for so little... it appears that they freight-forward all of their UK (possibly European too) shipments to a company in Middlesex who then post them second class inland. Because it arrived here with both a customs declaration on and a "Postage Paid 2" sticker with a licence in Greenford Essex attributed to it, so it might well be that it evades the HMRC step at Mount Pleasant where nasty £8 fees are applied (along with the VAT & duty).

Yes any VAT & duty would paid on the freight shipment (at Heathrow normally) & if there sending alot to the UK it's makes sense for cost & customer service.

hando said:HUGE bottle of Tabac a\s arrived today - 3 weeks from order to delivery
A 300ml bottle of Tabac AS appeared this morning, for Herr Spirit, all the way from Long Island, NYC. Cost approx £13.50 inc free shipping. Just a tad less than Boots :x I think. Rip off Britain? Nah...really?
Delivery, eleven days and the goods were superbly packaged.
I can also recommend FragranceX to you. I will be using again for some other Tabac goodies after Christmas (if I get a Postal Order or two!!)
That's the (other) way to start the day
