Yes, 15: about $300-worth.
I knew they were gonna send them in small doses, so wasn't worried.

Small imports below ?17.50 are not subject VAT or duty, so buying 1 at time usually does the trick.

Recently attempted to order some clothing totalling $25 and was told shipping would be $30 with probable charges added by customs.....laughable.
