the value was $60 or 65 i think, inline with the insurance amount. it was marked as a gift.
in my experience the UK shipping prices are the most expensive ones, especially with the weak $$.
but as i've said a flat rate international envelop is $8 or 10 and the adapter probably would go into one. it would still be $14-16 total and the question is if it is really worth the hassle on this side. oh, and not to forget the 4% paypal fee which would be another $2.50.
the 15GBP fee is a UK thing, "we" don't have that here

Was the customs form marked out to the correct value? - if so you got lucky! Because this item is £1 over the limit it risks a £15 + handling fee. As happened to me last time buying over the limit from the US...
All seems very tricky at the USA end - if it was the other way round and a similar weight to this little adapter, I could buy it post free from CRC, nip down the road to the PO and in five minutes it would be off to someone in the US for £2 airmail on top of the UK shop price and that's that!
Think I will give up.
