Omg how much did you order? My order with postage was less than that.

Well it was £4 fees and the £8 handling fee grr

I didn't have to pay customs. My order came to just under £20 though, including postage.

I'm soooo gonna get charged!

Yup been done on customs, £12 to pay. What is the limit now?!

I saw there was a change from Jan 2013

Bugger. Oh well £12 it is then!!!

I'm slightly glad I didn't order anything now. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] Sorry to hear about those of you who have been clobbered with charges.

£12 import tax is still a piss take. This is why I like the eBay route for my polishes, they tend to write very low values on the envelope.

Well as it was a new thing, I didn't even bloody realise that it was in force when I ordered! If I had, I'd certainly have trimmed my order down. Will seriously think about where I buy now.

I think there has always been a limit just not as low as £15, it's why I don't multi purchase from America.
The biggest change I could find was the gift limit- its £36 now instead of £40.
Potentially you could make a nail swap buddy who is willing to post as "gift"

Its £15 according to the note from customs. Sucks. In good news I have mine now :-)

In that case I'll be totally shafted!

I've always thought the limit was £15.00. I never order anything above that from overseas just in case.

I think this is the problem now, with the postage increase so steep it only seems worth it if you are buying a large quantity but you are going to get stung with custom that probably won't make your order any cheaper at all- I was going to buy an indie last night because I saw a discount code, then the total price was £12 I didn't want it anymore- I don't want to pay more for postage than the product I am buying.

God these sparkle!

OH. MY. GOD.

Too much pretty.

Can't cope.

I'm so jealous, they look absolutely gorgeous shoppingaddict! However, I must confess I did buy Snow Day and Diamonds and Pearls from eBay yesterday evening......

I'm trying to see if I can get away with painting my nails again but I suspect OH may object!

She's having another 50% sale to celebrate being single again....... I'm not sure I can hold off ordering this time.

Just a couple of questions to the ladies who ordered previously. Was the value stated on the package full retail value or the 50% value please? Also shoppingaddict, please can you let me know what you think of the Cupcake Oil? I need this..........
