You should factor in the customs costs when you make your purchase. You have enough experience with the anount of orders you make from the US to know exactly how much you'll end up being charged. another thought is that the £ is pretty strong against the $ at the moment, this gives us a pretty big discount anyway.
I alays factor in 17.5% just in case, but my idea of 17.5% is that it is in fact 17.5%, customs idea of 17.5% seems substantially higher. I ordered a Slant Bar and a Shavette from Classic Shaving, 3 weeks later than it should the package turns up with a 12.00 GBP customs charge plus another 4 GBP for collection fees. Obvioulsly the amount of money is inconsequential in itself, but in this instance the combined charges were nearly as much as the value of the order itself.
