Are you into gadgets?
Here is a Link to a site in Hong Kong which do free airmail shipping although the shipping cost is obviously added to the prices, heavy items don't offer much in the way of savings but most of the items are relatively light and could cost you less than normal UK shipping charges alone.
A friend tried them out ordering some ipod earphones for US$ 7.00, they came in 2 weeks and he was really pleased with them. Even if you don't order anything it is quite interesting viewing all the products.

Re: Are you into gadgets?
I have just started to have a browse around the site and already earmarked half a dozen items. It certainly stocks eclectic range of products.
Thanks for the link slowcoach.

Re: Are you into gadgets?
Just be careful that you don't get caught with extra customs applied tax for imports. Not sure what the threshold is.

Well my shopping basket with all the items so far is under £25 so I should be OK.

Re: Are you into gadgets?
Here is a Link to current import taxes threshold, please read all the page.
As the shipping is included all you would have to do is make separate purchases to ensure you kept within the threshold, providing no single item took you over.

I'm sure if you bought things from this page of that site, then you might run into some trouble importing it...

I've used these guys before. Postage takes a while but you can get some really great gems at a fraction of the price.
