Packages are marked as merchandise when ordering from Zenmarket or HLJ, so I guess that's why sellers like Oki or using Tenso are also good options.
That's strange since the cut off point is £15 so you should be getting charged for anything that's like over 2400ish yen.

The US in general doesn't seem to bother with charging people customs. Wish the UK was like that. They're more than happy to take a chunk of money from you.
