It was mentioned a little while back by another lucky recipient.

This actually could work in your favour.  If you paid tax on the item 
when it had not been shipped, you would probably still have to pay tax 
*again* when the item arrived at your door, they would not easily link 
the two shipments.  In actuality, a filter will probably be shipped in a 
padded bag and be dropped through your door by the nice postman.  My 
guess is that you will not pay any tax at all on the filter when it arrives.
