Most of them will, but the trick is avoiding taxes at this end. If you order
something from Amazon, say, they generally plaster the fact its from them
all over the box. Customs therefore notice this, open it and charge VAT and
duty on the contents, plus a fee for the 'privelege' of having them open it.
This could add 10GBP onto the price.
On the other hand, if they are shipped from the US by an individual, customs
rarely notice and thus you avoid this 'surcharge'
Perhaps I'm just dishonest...
