    Courier's - Depends on which one but generally MASSIVE fees apply...

                A few choices available.

                1)Ensure the sender put's the value at under £15
                2)Ensure the sender does not insure the item.
                3)Ask sender to put "Birthday Present" on item.

                I have bought many items from the US and through experience have found all of the above have worked.
                Certainly you have to have some bottle for choice no 2,but if sent by a reputable postal service with online tracker should be no problem.
                Options no2/3 were coaxed from a friendly customs individual during a heated debate a few years back.

                Good luck,Mike.

                  just a hint,

                  (in sweden it is like this anyways)

                  that if the package got an lowered value/birthday present etc, you only get the valued money back if the package is lost.
