Hi Alan, i have had stuff delivered from Hong Kong and it has been fine and has got here quicker than some items i have ordered from UK. I think its up to the value of £36 you don't pay import tax, but over that you can do. it depends if your unlucky enough to get a bored customs officer. If you ask the company to mark the parcel as "gift" it is then also exempt from import duty. Most of the Hong Kong company's do this anyway, thats also why you see a lot of things on E-bay for 99p with a high postage cost as then the item is beneath the import tax limit!
