Aussibums in uk

[smooth54]

Does anybody know if you can buy aussubums in the uk or on the web apart from them direct.
the last pair i bought the import tax was nearly as much as the suit thanks

The import tax is brutal.

I've never had much luck. Selfridges have some online, but a limited range and seem to be much more expensive than going direct. I've scored a few pairs on eBay too, but there are plenty of low quality counterfeits on there too.

Thanks dannyboi this is what i thought any idea how much the import tax is now im quite tempted to buy some more

[dannyboi]

Obligatory I am not a tax accountant, YMMV, etc... For less than £135 of goods there shouldn't be any excise duty, just the 20% VAT; if you are stung with the duty that is something like 12-15% again, plus the couriers handling fee (last import I did I ended up paying 20p of VAT and £8 to Royal Mail for the privilege!).

instead of ordering your Aussiebums in one order try ordering them separately.
I hope this info helps.
