Yeah, usually they don't. Most of the "1 $ Gift" parcels are sorted out and end up at the Customs Office especially when the sender is a company.
Damn the EU and their insatiable craving for money from their citizens  Drakruuk wrote:
Australian exchange rate is horrible and shipping is upwards of $70 aud alone!
Wait! Shouldn't the markets be happy with the departure of Abbott? I remember being in Australia when the rate between Euro and AUD was 1 / 1.8. I was rich! And by the end of my exchange semester, it had dropped down to 1 / 1.3. I was happy I had wired my money at the beginning ^^ I'd say that if you're lucky enough to know any diplomats, you could ask for it to be put in the diplomatic parcel. I have a friend who did just that to avoid paying LOTS of money on an import of computer parts from Hong Kong. |

I hear you on that exchange rate for us Canadians! We got lucky and my wife ordered before our dollar plunged into the Abyss.

I don't want to brag, but I've got family in New York City, so I was thinking I'd have it shipped to their place, and they'd ship it again to mine. This way, I should avoid the customs tax!
Yes, I do understand the risk I'm taking with insurance and everything. But I'm so NOT worried. I mean, we're talking about SF here, right?
