you could pay customs fee's no matter how its shipped it all depends on customs and how they feel that day.I have to ask, too, what don't you like about it? I just returned one as well because the color (grey) didn't go with anything in my wardrobe, but I'm trying to get it exchanged for the pewter because I love the style.
Do you have to pay customs fees with USPS? Can you call HH and have them ship via any other carrier?
I just had handbag arrive valued at 200$ and paid nothing, had a HH bag valued at 95$ arrive and paid 27$ customs fee's and they were both shipped the same way.
