Yes I did and it was a disaster.
When the goods were delivered the customs charged vat on the full cost of
the order, shipping as well as the goods.
Also there was duty to pay on one item.
They ignored that I had pai sales tax in the US, oh yest the vat was on
that as well.
What made it worse was that I had no idea it was going to happen until UPS
arrived with the goods and I had to pay the extra to get them.
I am sure there is a way round this so don't make my mistake.
I am so pleased to get that off my chest!!

Subject: [Blind-Computing] UK people buying hardware from the USA
Hello listers
I do hope this isn't off topic?
I'm thinking of buying something from Amazon.com as it is not available at
amazon.co.uk
Has anyone any experience of buying hardware from abroad, especially the
USA
and what extra charges did you have to pay, i.e. for
carriage/post/packing.
Many thanks
