Buying from the US and charges

rodriguez:
Do you normally get stung?

I thought I read in another thread they had figured a way round it.

What is the Parcel Force handling fee at the moment?

stidds:
I have been charged on pretty much every deal in the last 18 months.

The import duty is approx 2.5% of the total value (including postage cost) + 20% VAT and Parcel Force charge £13.50.

You shouldn't however pay import duty on goods valued between £0-135 (I think).

chubby:
I had to pay import tax & the handling fee for 2 seat posts the other week  :tickedoff:
Total value was 60 odd $ & I paid 11 ish quid !!!!!!!
Had a rotor n bits through that new ebay thing & paid fook all !!!!
Just had notification that a frame set & loads of other bits have cleared customs & dispatched for delivery & not had to pay fook all yet ???????????
Think it really depends what the seller puts on the paperwork  or just luck of the draw

threaders:
Anything marked gift and under £32 should get through with no fees. It just depends if the seller will do that for you ;)

thats right ... BUT ..... if its only insured at £32 and it goes missing in transite .... you can only claim £32  :-\  thats the gamble
