will I have to pay import tax to have them shipped to the US?

Hi, i've just bought a B+W CP from their ebay shop "hkdirect", i'm not sure if it helps me being in the UK and all but on the customs declaration they wrote "photo filter x1" and a value of $10, so it was below the tax threshold here.
hth :)

Were you happy with their service? How long did shipping take? Was the product brand new?

Sorry for all the questions but i have never ordered anything from overseas and their prices are too good to ignore.

well the service was flawless and it arrived on my doorstop 4-5 days after i placed the order. The filter was brand new and came in the original unopened box as you'd expect.

Let me add another vote for thew guy. I recently bought a B+W filter & had the same experience, great service, shipping was about a week & it was a brand-new item as expected. I will go back for my next filter.

I also purchased two filters from this company and I would definately re-order from them in the future. Shipping was quoted as being ten days, but I received the package in around six days.

B+W filters were as expected.

I recently had an excellent transaction with Duracom-Supply (http://stores.ebay.com/Duracom-Supply). I bought a 77mm UV Hoya SHMC filter from them - the price was right and the shipping was extremely cheap and fast (it took only 3 days to arrive and I'm talking about the other end of the globe here).

From what I checked and saw before that purchase, the final prices (filter + international shipping) of the most HK sellers were a bit higher than at Duracom.

I've ordered on 2 seperate occasions from maxsaver also and they delivered quickly and with no product problems.
