DHL and Customs Amounts?

[pika_loli]

I've seen many posts about Bodyline, DHL, and after-the-fact customs invoices.   I am strongly considering making a Bodyline order and I figure those customs fees are just part of the game.  Where were your goodies shipped, how much was the (second) invoice for, and how much was your original order amount?

Also, when you have made a Bodyline order, have you attempted to request EMS shipping over DHL?

Thank you for the insight ladies!
