But if they cant get you on the value they will now get you on a percentage of the postage cost or weight/size of the box and call it handling charge, the only way to get around it is if you are sending a feather in a matchbox valued at £18 MAX or they happen to be eating their lunch when your item goes through.

I did incur a £27 charge on an item valued at $35... ???

It concerns the value indicated Terry but it doesn't make sense because my item was marked as gift & valued well below £36 & I was still charged...

It appears to be a random process.

If it is sent by a business the maximum value is £15 whether it is marked gift or not.

If the parcel is insured for more than the declaration your parcel will be rated on the insured value, I was told this when I queried a charge that had been marked gift and value below £36 so I thought it would get through with no charge, however, the seller was a business and insured it for the full value and I got a bill for £38.

Sorting this out should be a lot of fun.....
