customs and importing...what a hassle

The most ive ever had to pay was about £12

i regularly receive stuff from the states. Guess its either luck or the low value marked on them and the old gift blag

They'll try to deliver it and ask if you can pay the charges there and then. If you can't they'll take it back to the depot and will hold on to it until you've paid.

They made me pay the charges up front before they would deliver it.

Apparently you can get around customs charges if they write "Warranty Return" on the package, alternatively befriend a member of the US armed forces/government based in the UK and get everything shipped to the their address.

I heard they come in the middle of the night, welding pitch forks and flaming torches.

If Parcelfarce are handling your package you'll be lucky to see it at all

Thats very unfair to parcelfarce.
You will get it, but expect it to have shoe prints, dents, missing tape and possibly bits hanging off of it.
If your lucky, you may even get a man that hasn't shaved since the dawn of time and stinks of BO
