How you going to aim to avoid the high postage costs they probably charge what it costs its not cheap if heavy, a pair of boxes trainers is around £25 from the us, you want it insured and tracked, customs is customs you can't avoid it with some things, they can mark it gift, but depends what it is if customs open it up and/ or its marked as car parts and make sure there's no reciepts in it, thing with customs charges and insurance ,you don't really want to mark the value as very low if its valuable

Quite right Polsta, items are smallish, light and not that expensive. Hence I am looking to avoid high postage costs and customs. Maybe unavoidable but worth a shot...?
