Hiya I posted this on a previous thread.
I do this a lot as I travel to the US every month. It is considerably cheaper but very hard to find good shops near where I am travelling. What I do is order online from Amain or RCtech for example and get it shipped (often for free to my hotel or office in the USA). I can then pick it up when I get there and bring it back in my luggage. If I am going to buy something big, I often bring an extra soft bag with me to pack extra stuff into.
The current customs duty free limit for flying commercial is £390 per person, which gets you quite a lot of stuff - currently $642 worth. (it is less - £270 - if you travel by private plane)
