Stuff can come to the UK via the US postal service. I ordered a hoodie for my daughter in December and it arrived in time to be wrapped up for her. No trouble with customs either but I think that depends on what they put on the customs form on the package.

Surely if they just put 'running jacket' on the form, that is hardly suspicious? Now if I were ordering a Bomber Jacket that might be an issue... God, I hope I don't get put in prison for typing that. |

Not suspicious but above a certain amount subject to taxes.

HM Customs have phases of impounding everything that enters the country. A few friends and I all had stuff impounded of minor value a few years back and had to pay the extra £10-12 pounds before we could collect our goods. Yet recently I ordered a book and it came straight through with no problem. |

You're all making me really paranoid that I'm never going to get my nice jacket now. Grr! >:]

Nope And obviously tomorrow isn't a working day so I doubt it will come then... and Monday is the OFFICIAL DAY I CAN COMPLAIN (not that I've been waiting or anything ;-)) At least it's a bit warmer so I don't reeeeeeally need it (but I still reeeeeally want it grr!) |
