How much should I expect to pay for having a product delivered from hk into the uk.

The size will be like a small parcel size of a book maybe.

Ive been quoted around £11 - £15 but looking on ebay people are charging as low as £4 for delivery costs.

Also what price should I advise my supplier to write on the package for customs to avoid any nasty tax?

If you can't afford to pay the tax, it's not worth importing.

I can afford the tax, just dont want to pay it I know its unlikely it will be charged anyway.

Marking the value down to avoid tax is HIGHLY illegal.

How long is a piece of string? All depends on the shipping method?

3 - 5 days door to door you's expect to pay what you have been quoted. By normal post 1 - 2 weeks about half that.

[andy]

which method would that be?
I looked at ems but theyre website has no pricing on it.

Thnaks.

Usually EMS from China or Hong Kong. The seller would be able to provide you with a better price that you can obtain yourself.
