All my Amazon orders are entering Europe via
Frankfurt. Since DHL is part of the German Post Group that makes sense.
I was always waiting for my packages to arrive with DHL Worldmail and then i just
switched to DHL Express and must say i`m very happy now. I make every month an order
of 10 to 20 DVD`s and they always arrive within 2 Days!
And with DHL Express i have 30 Days to pay my custom bill!

The package I recieved had $16 on the front but thats not what I paid for it. Amazon had the price wrong and didn't include the shipping in the cost so I guess as far as customs are concerned it was under £18. I'll let you know how I fare with the other packages.

Bumping this one with my own experiences since the other thread seems to be UK-related...
Just got my first three packages through Zurich to The Netherlands: the first two, single discs with a value below $30 where without a problem but the 3rd one (one DVD and one CD, with a total value printed of $36+$10 shipping) was marked with NLG 21 import taxes!
First time Amazon catches me, OUCH! I'm waiting for three more shipments which are already in the mail and if they are also caught by customs I'll go back to single disc shipping (which add 'only' $5 to my 2 discs shipping method)
