SHIPMENTS TO THE USA. US Customers please read! Records ARE STILL BEING sent from the UK to the USA Tariff and Duty free! Records, along with CDs, LPs and Books are classified as “informational materials” and exempt from import tariffs, and goods to the declared value of less than $100 are exempt from Customs Duty. Royal Mail has increased prices slightly as they in turn are being charged more for additional handling by US Customs. Other than that it's Business As Usual!
As usual, winnings all my other listings (including eBay) can be combined to save you postage.
SHIPPING. Unlike eBay, we don't charge Sales Tax (VAT) on non-UK sales and on the whole we're managing to get records to customers in the EU without them being charged Customs duty. Non-UK buyers are strongly recommended to have their records held until a parcel of 7 or more records can be shipped by FedEx or UPS, which means big per-item savings on postage; currently I can ship 12-14 ten-inch records to the USA for around £42/$55 via FedEx, which equates to less than $5 per disc!!
