    Has anyone ordered from the above website?
    They have some seriously amazing stuff and ridiculous discounts!
    International shipping isn't too expensive either (it's an american site), but I'm just worried I'll get charged a heap of import tax and stuff when it arrives.
    Does anyone know if this could be the case? Are there usually high extra costs when ordering from the states?

    Yes it could be the case.
    If your order, including shipping costs, exceeds 22 euro you are charged a percentage of the purchase plus the handling fee by the courier or postal company who delivers it, usually 10-15 euro.

    You can get an idea of charges by using this calculator : http://www.bundlebox.com/landed-cost-calculator/

    You have to make a guess as to package size and weight but thats only for the bundlebox charge it wont affect your import charges.
    Once you've pressed calculate it will show you the price of using bundle box, shipping charge but also the import duty due and the handling of import duty and vat charges. Discard everything but the import tax charge and handing of import tax charge. Then you'll know how much it'll cost.

    Theres always a chance your parcel might not get stopped but youre better to factor in the possibility that it will into your decision to buy or not.
