Guest guest Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Hi Margery, Thanks for putting this up-glad it was helpful. I have found that if you order 2 at a time you don't have to pay custom charges. I originally bought 4 in one go and had to pay £12 in custom charges on top of the purchase cost! Here in the UK you have to pay custom charges over £18. Thankfully 2 bluebonnet iron bottles plus a small shipping charge comes to just under £18 Hope this helps Josie To: RT3_T3 From: m.escoffery@...Date: Wed, 2 Jun 2010 00:04:47 +0000Subject: Yes, you can get Bluebonnet iron in the U.K. Josie does (thanks for the post & the link, Josie!) here they are:"I live in the UK and buy my iron from USA.
