    As I recall, the shipping on my TW jacket order a few years ago was less than $20, and it was sent via royal mail - parcelforce so there was no duty fee.
    I understand, Zardoz, but you live in United States, unlike the OP and myself. Totally different. I import things from Tartanweb (Gaelic Themes) weekly. Shipping (via) Parcelforce for a jacket would be 31.00 GBP, there is then a potential 15% duty imposed on both shipping and price, GST (which I also have to charge) on the total, and then an $8.00 GST collection fee levied by Revenue Canada. As you can see, things add up rather quickly. Also, their currency converter is WAY off. 199.95 GBP is approx. $319 CAD, not $270.
