Iff you could sneak it past customs, it'd make sense to buy a ticket for 
the package.

The only hope that you have is to either try to sneak it past customs 
(not likely in the UK - very tight security), or to claim that it is for 
personal use (but you'd better have a work visa, then).

Most likely, you're best off declaring a used value and paying less VAT 
that way.
