    Hey, just wondering if anyone can recommend sellers on amazon.com that have cheap shipment to Europe for clothes? Currently its $35 from amazon itself, I've found one company (just do it 4 less) that ships for around 15$ which isn't too bad compared to the rest. Anyone know stores with a similar rate or cheaper?
    Thanks

    Take note that you will face duty and VAT charges on import when buying from the US. Factor this into your decisions. On average, add about 30% of the total value of the order, and include the shipping cost in that. See www.dutycalculator.com for a more accurate calculation.

    Yeah, I've bought a couple of things before and was hit with the import charges I didn't see coming on some of them. Shipping was roughly half the order unfortunately, and part of the reason I'm looking for cheap shipment is to keep as close to the cut-off point as possible (€25 afaik) and hope it won't be checked.
