Hi, i'm in UK and want to buy a compression vest to use while I lose weight.
Questions: Will I be charged customs since they're coming from America? If so how much and how does me paying it work?

Also, how many should I get? I guess i'd be wearing 'em pretty reguarly.

Thanks guys

Hi,

Many of us have ordered compression vests from US companies like Underworks and I simply paid the price on the website and the postage they state for shipping to the UK.  If the UK customs want to charge me extra then that’s up to them to come find me and ask for it.

Don’t worry about it.

LOL, I got a 997 and a 998, they 998 is about right, kinda tight, but looks good, and it looks like an under armor shirt from the outside.  The 997....  I almost broke my neck trying to get it on!  I would definately go up a size.

Another thing on the 997, obviously I couldnt breath if I wore it, so I cut out a pannel (there are two in the front,) and now its great.  only thing is you can see it with 1 t-shirt, and it looks nothing like a normal one.

I bought mine for use after surgery, although I did wear them a little before surgery just to see what it was like to have a flat chest again.

I bought the Underworks 980 for just after surgery as it is easy to put on when you have restricted movement.  The 980 is adjustable and has hook and eyes fastening up the front.  The front panel of this vest (where the hooks and eyes are) is visible under a thin shirt but I found it ideal immediately after surgery.

When I had better mobility in my arms I used the 997, which is practically invisible under any shirt.  It’s just like a very, very tight fitting vest, which you have to either pull on over your head or step into and pull it up over your body.

Hope this info is some use to you.
