Ordering UK version to be sent to US - advice?

[auntrebbis]

Has anhone done this with past releaes?  My copies of HP 1-6 are the UK 
plain 'adult version' and I want to order 7 in the same.  

I don't know exactly what anything costs from the UK site, but it 
appears that the adult version is about 50% off, but 6-10 day shipping 
costs almost as much as the book.  1-2 day shipping (which they say 
will ship on 7/19) costs more than twice the amount of the book.  

Truthfully, if it would be guaranteed to arrive, I'd pay the shipping.  
But I hate to pay and not have it arrive for even a few days.  Maybe I 
should get slower shipping and order locally to tide myself over.

Anyone have any past experience with this?

Thanks,
Deb
