Hi Meggie

I have ordered things from the States in the past. The postage is expensive and so I only order very light things. I am going to get some supplements from a pet nutritionalist,though, and one of the YTs has kindly offered to post them to me using the cheapest form of postage. You need to be careful about tax & duties so you have to keep the value of each parcel below the level at which it becomes due for duty charges. I did look it up, but cannot remember what it was. It is easy enough to check up on. I have ordered from ChattiesMom and also from tinkerbells closet and the later took 5 weeks to arrive but Chattiesmom sent the items much sooner- a couple of weeks. There are SO many things I would like to get from the USA, but I need to find someone going over who is prepared to shop for items for me and bring them over.

Hope this help. Perhaps someone else has some more advice.

Luv
Yvonne xx
