Page 1 of DVD coming from USA

I have ordered a film on dvd on line from America, when it arrives in Uk what can I expect to happen?
Will I be asked to pay any taxes?
If yes how will this be done?
Thanks
David

If the total value of the DVD is under £18 (*excluding* postage costs) then you won`t have to pay anything at all.

If it`s over £18 then you *could* be charged duty and VAT plus a handling fee, which will be collected by your postman (or by the courier firm, if it was sent by courier).

Thanks for prompt respose Mike.
Its $18-96, plus $10-45 shipping, so if shipping equals postage then looks as if I`m in for no extra charge.

$10-45 seems to be alot of money for shipping, that`s almost £7. If I was you I would change suppliers, I use dvdimport.com and you get free shipping with them.

play.com do free shipping, too, and I`ve also used dvdboxoffice in the past, but not for a while.

Thanks ShaunP and Telboy10, I did try several sites mentioned before, and the 2 you mention, all could not supply the film required except one.
The one suppling is www.dvdempire.com they have given 24% discount of the listed price $22-99.
So I guess I am paying $6-42 over a firm that might have charged LP with free or cheaper shipping.
Willingness to supply as won in this instance.

Which disk did you order if you dont mind my asking?

No problem, Enemy.

I`ve never had the postman collect money even when it says they should on the package, I think it`s too much paperwork for them and it`s bloody freezing out there,

Thanks to all who replied.
To bring you up to date www.dvdempire.com have cancelled they say they can`t obtain it for me.
