I sellected USPS Global Express Mail but there where some other options, they where extreemly expensive though.  I dont beleave they use any service that would pickup this end and continue the shipping in one price.  Some people will ship Item as a present or under value it to avoid duty charges.  I did look into all this as I perchased boxed software, the system is rather complex.  Tariff classification can be tax can be added to a item as well as the standard 17.5% vat.  The Vat is added to the total value including postage.

My poser 7 order started at  $156.99 thats with the $10 coupon off, thats £85.38 uk pounds paid from paypal.  Id be very shocked if I get this item with no additional shipping charge but, Vat will for certain be added as well as some kind of duty.  So added just VAT it comes to £99.  Im usng online currency convertion which never works out correct, its always more but that.  This means in total iv paid $194 USD for the upgrade.  

Of course if you add shipping charges from Royal mail plus handling fees your looking at another £10 -£15 or more maybe less maybe more, it prety much works out im paying the price of the full Poser 7 price in USD.  Im comparing all the above based on when I perchased a software boxed product Steinberg Cubase Producer pac.  It looked a very attractive price to start with but soon end up costing me way over what I calculated.  Dont let me put anyone off, its just my experience, im hoping things wont be as bad this time.  Its wasnt a problem just took longer than I hoped and costed much more.  

Royal mail did lie to me though which I wasnt happy about.  They said they had tryed to deiver it but nobody was in.  I was in all day, most of which looking out my window pmsl.
