Importing Blu-Rays from Barnes and Noble

Thanks everyone for replying. I think I'll go ahead and order.

If customs do say I have to pay, what happens if I won't pay? Do they return the item to sender?

Could I tell customs to return to sender, and then ask B&N to refund my order?

If you refuse a parcel you can be liable for the returns fee and addition costs that the sender may occur. It will be in their Terms and Conditions. It will depend on your Post Office as well.

I've ordered from them 3 times before, all during the half price Criteroin sale and never got caught by customs. The packages took forever to arrive eac and every time though, over a month i think!

I've ordered from a few B&N Criterion sales, and they've always marked as books. Sadly have to agree with the long wait time, so much so this year I've by luck managed to time my holiday to America with the B&N sale! Rushmore in HD? Yes.

You will probably get this sealed letter thing from ParcelForce detailing the 'handling fee' and customs you will need to pay, then you can go online, pay it and arrange for delivery. Not sure what would happen if you 'reject' it. You might have to just wait a certain amount of time has elapsed without paying but I imagine it would take AGES to be returned to sender and then for you to get a refund. I've also had a pretty horrendous experience with BN Customer service as well. So if I were you I'd take the risk, and if you get stung with fees, just pay them. But you probably won't.
