Perhaps Virgin arent charging to carry sporting goods but Im pretty sure HMRC are still charging on imported items.

i'm sure if not marked as gift anything between £15 - £135 is just is just VAT and over £135 is VAT and customs duty plus handling charge. goods sent as gift over £40 can have charges as well.

just a note from my old memory that royal mail charged me 200% more duty than fedex. think it was someting like £60 royal mail against £20 fedex

you have no choice but to pay as they wont deliver your goods.
