Hi,

These have been calculated at $27 on my potential order. Do I have to pay anything else on top of it?

Last time I ordered from the states was from Newman Marcus and they came through customs with no charges.

Thanks

Its roughly 20% but then the bastarding Royal Mail add an £8 handling charge..

MrsCampbellBlack · 09/06/2013 08:29

I always pay up front with shopbop as delivery is then super quick.

ChablisLover · 09/06/2013 10:49

So the amount they add is all you have to pay?

Yes, that's it.

ChablisLover · 09/06/2013 10:53

Oooooh

Might make it worthy while after all.

So there definitely no more charges?

I order stuff from the US sometimes and what I have found is that the total charges on top seem to be 25% of the cost of the item & shipping.

But there is a chance it may slip through unnoticed...

If you opt to pay customs charges up front on shopbop then that's all you will have to pay. I've even had a small refund from them when the charges were not as much as their estimate.

Oooh now more tempted especially as dh is being an arse today and I need a wee treat this month!

I thought I remembered you ftom last week! get them in the 9. if they slightly big you can disguise it better than if they too small and your toes peering over the end is not an attractive look. order them!

ChablisLover · 09/06/2013 17:00

Might order 2 pairs! Am
I bad? LoOking at the black/ tan or pewter and tan. can always ebay them!

I love the black and tan. I have them in rose gold and in tan. I also have the Hamiltons in cream snake print which were $26 from the us site of amazon and somehow didn't get picked up by customs. I agree the resale value for ebay is good. do it!

ChablisLover · 09/06/2013 18:41

Now I'm really confused

Looked in amazon and they say a uk size 6 is a us 8.

Matches fashions and shopbop recommend a 9!

Going to have to go for the tape measure

Help!
