Wondered whether people are still ordering through the mail, given that the rules changed and Customs will now seize even personal-use amounts? Is it worth the risk? Has anyone tried recently and got their parcel through okay?

I had a $600 order, but it now seems too risky to go mail order with no guarantee you won't lose your money. Or am I being too cautious?

What do you think all the US guys have been doing for years?

The risk is upto you. I would never want to say what to do. But me personally... I have a parcel coming this Tues so thats where I stand :) Although my parcel is getting sent from inside the UK ;)

True, it merely puts us in the same boat as the US boys now. Just takes a bit of getting used to the fact you could lose your order after years of getting the stuff through trouble-free.

Obviously it's different with a UK parcel because it won't be going through customs, so I can't imagine there'll be any problem. Good on you for finding a mail order UK supplier, because I haven't managed that yet. Hope it turns out to be good stuff. It's a problem because I've just started at a new gym and I always like to get my face known a bit over a few months before I start asking people about supplying gear. Hmm, problems problems...
