Thinking of ordering a few things from a well known photography store. Just flash, diffuser and battery-recharger. I live in Europe and we have to pay HUGE with VAT. Which I dont like at all. I have before orderd books, dvd and a leatherman multitool from US and never had to pay VAT. But I have read about One who needed to pay VAT from that store. So my question is:

How to I minimizy to risc to get the packet in the customs? I rather pay VAT when it arrives at my place. *HeHe* Should I use UPS or US Global Expess? I have also heard that you can mark the packet with Gift, to minimize the risc. Is that true? All tips are very welcome. :-)

Thanks
