Well Rusty I'm sorry to say that I don't think I can get shipping much below what that other guy was saying. I had a go at UPS's shipping estimator and the lowest estimated cost was still eye watering.
Nice :)I got your subscription, Elgin virgin media! lol
Yeah but Mr MVacs ships stuff all over the world so I'm sure he shipped it super cheaper than either of us can lol.

Pretty cheap and the import duty will be £0. You can sort the price difference out between you behind the scenes.

I don't want a surprise and have to pay when it arrives here lol!
Items over £20 ish attract import duty. eBay have some kind of arrangement where its rolled into the shipping where applicable for faster customs clearance. As long as he puts the weight/dimensions of the package right, and includes US delivery, and enables Global Shipping on the listing, You can buy the $10 vacuum on a BIN immediately, he will ship it locally, Pitney Bowes will forward it to Hermes over here (yuk!) and you'll send him the extra $ on the quiet.
That's an interesting idea.......only issue now is that I don't have an ebay account.
