[QUOTE="Hazey, post: 121239"] Hey all, So here's the story - I find a couple of rugby products I really like the look of on an American website. Knowing that there would be postage and packaging, and VAT to pay when it arrived in the country, I asked for quote from the website, and finding the total inc. P&P to be £70, which was still cheaper than anything I could find in the UK (plus two of the items weren't available in the UK), I thought I'd go for it. Unfortunately (I had no choice), the vender sends the package by UPS. So when, whilst tracking the parcel online, I see it's being held at the Midlands Airport, I know I'm going to have to pay VAT (sometimes you can get lucky, and they don't charge it on your parcel) - I think to myself, no problem, I expected this: the order came to £50 worth of goods, so that'll be a charge of about £7.50, plus a couple of quid of processing. UPS gets to my door this morning - [SIZE=2]£38 in VAT and charges!!!![/SIZE] on a £50 order!! Not impressed one little bit. Thanks, Hazey [/QUOTE]
