So £20 sounds about right?

kdw712:
that does seem a bit steep for something so cheap even with inc the shipping costs
esp when lots of peeps get new school redline cranks shipped over and pay nothing extra

Frosty:
sounds like they have misread the value because that level of customs charge would equate to a value including shipping (as that is charged too) of £67 - something is definately wrong

SaMAlex:
They usually do include the shipping charge. They charge you on a percentage of the VALUE + SHIPPING!

It still seems tight that they bothered to charge you for an £8 item.

chrishil1:
my mistake, i misread it.

The charges are

import £0
excise £0
vat £11.95
other £0
Parcelforce Clearance Fee £8.00

total £19.95

so just got the vat from customs, the £8 is the parcelforce charges and paperwork.
(as per man at depo - I called them up)

But as you say vat 17.5% would equate to value around £67
when it really was $54 inc postage - around £28

may email them when it turns up tomorrow.
