If you were going to buy from other countries you would probably get a better deal buying it from China / Hong Kong than America, it would be pointless paying for 2 lots of air freight.
Why would you pay anything to Royal Mail? Borders use a shipper; as far as I'm aware the Royal Mail never get involved.
