    Have anyone done this before?
    They seem a lot cheaper on Amazon UK

    Can I pay US dollar? Any extra fees?
    Will the shipping cost be very high and is there any problem with tax?

    Thanks

    I've never done this, but I considered it once and (if I remember correctly) found out that Royal Air takes a long time (like weeks maybe?) to deliver.

    in the end it's not really worth it, don't forget you still have to convert the money...

    Nope, you will need a UK billing address.

    And at another poster, Royal mail probably took a long time because the sender sent it via 2nd class. if they had sent it 1st class it should have taken < 1week depending on your location in the US. Once its in the US its US mail's problem obviously...
