Any experience buying Delugs from UK?

I'm keen to get a Delugs Elastic Loop. Problem is it's only $25 and I'm based in the UK and worried about import tax. Does anyone have experience on this? The Gov tax and duty website here states:

"You will not have to pay anything to the delivery company to receive goods worth less than £135 unless they’re gifts over £39 or excise goods (for example, alcohol and tobacco)."

So maybe there will be no tax to pay?

No experience with Delugs directly, but I have bought a few smaller items from the USA recently and am in the UK. No issues with duties or VAT but expect delays of anything up to a couple of weeks while HM Revenue and Customs think about it! Items over the threshold tend to attract duties and VAT AND handling / admin fees from the couriers too.
