I find importing from America very straightforward and have done this on many occasions. Generally it arrives as quickly as when I order fro the UK

For newbies the only problem is order value.
Above £18 order value UK customs charges 15% duty.
That would not be major problem as 15% of £20 is only £3
but our UK post office imposes a handling charge of £8 to collect the £3
So you need to
check your order value is under £18 if possible before you confirm the order. I've only been caught out a few times but it is irritating when it happens.
The alternative is to try to increase the order singificantly so the customs duty + handling charge are outweighed by the savings on the supplements you have bought.
