Some adverts say they send through the global shipping programme and that has calculated taxes on top, a few sellers just send them via normal mail so I guess it's pot luck if you get the customs charge. I wish my local TK Maxx had Selma messengers in more regularly , I still haven't bought it I now don't know which colour, blush or electric blue, I'd have both but that's not going to happen [emoji38]
Yes I tend to buy UK only as got stung on a few Tiffany items I bought years ago from the US and it put me off. Macy's is good as u can pay up front. Good if some ebay sellers offer that service to, I didn't realise that.
Hmmm difficult choice as totally different colours. I haven't seen dusty rose IRL but imagine I would love it and obviously eb I am biased as love the colour. DR would be a more muted tone I guess. I would like something in DR.
