Does anyone know if it is legal to post 10 aerosols from the US to the UK.

They will be Hairspray, which over here is £11 a can, over there it's $2.

It shouldn't encounter customs VAT but even if it does it is still way way cheaper.

Cheers.

Used to send samples of 20-100 cans to and from the states by air when l worked in the aerosol industry never had any problems.

the only issue is customs duty on items over $14 in value.

If I remember correctly Moonie has quite an impressive hair which requires lots of hair spray... aka a mohawk.

fair comment, in that case just watch for the duty charges i got charged £86 for a jeweller returning a ring i sent to them to be repaired even though i paid the duty when i bought the ring in the first instance.

Checked out the duty tax, the value would only come to $10 so shouldn't be an issue.

Do they sort that before they send it?

Also, I need hair spray because my hair is now about an inch longer than this, and PVA has stopped working:

Respect to the young fella for carrying on with something we started back in the late 70's / early 80's.
Its bloody great to see someone with the nuts to pull of a mohican. Thumbs Up

However ! fuc*ing hair spray Shocked
I had one about that length and would have been beaten to pulp if I had used hairspray - whats wrong with soap ?
I blame New Labour !

soap is shit.

When it rains you get a lather, which isn't ideal in November.

I've been using PVA until about a week ago when it just wasn't enough, but other than that, sugar? egg whites? bollocks.

That hair is pretty awesome!

My mate had one but he just used feck loads of hairspray (you could smell the fumes on him) and it was slightly longer than yours in the pic.
Looked funny when it was down like.
He used to get picked on so much about it tho. We got started on by some paki's with knifes cos of it. Wasnt a good day that tbh.

But keep it up Thumbs Up
