International sales are not governed by VCR so you could have it delivered direct to your home address, you may be required to argue with customs as to whether it's legal in the UK and provide documents to prove this, HMRC will also lift your leg for Duty on what they think it's worth. Just to rub salt in the wound if the US shipper uses a sevice that is completed at this end by Royal Mail they too will want a chunk of money for effectively doing sod all
