Well, being a devious anti-tax/duty paying Scot, i have found a couple of ways of dodging said taxes . Businesses will not usually mark prices down on goods shipped for several reasons .tax is one of them,items purchased legally will be entered in their books.and postal insurance is another ,if you buy an item for say $200 and its insured value is only $50 if it goes missing guess who's out, so they wont mark prices down .what i have found is if you ask (nicely of course) they may mark packages as 'Gift' or 'Returned Item'.i know in Canada gifts are tax and duty excempt upto $60 . Ive sent a few things back home to the UK and marked the packages Returned Item no problems as yet .i know a certain Fleetwood resident (who shall remain nameless
)would be able to confirm or deny if this 'returned item' thingy does indeed work . if you are getting items sent over by our American cousins try the returned item way , that way you can still insure the package for what its worth . you have no idea how many packages we,ve never had delivered over the years .good luck my anti tax paying bretheren
