  2. Silly question this is rip off Britain ! It's only a matter of time before we pay tax on the tax and on the air we breath

    If its comes via USPS it will be collected from customs by royal snail mail and they will charge you £14 for this and add it to the customs charge customs also add the carriage charge to the price of the item and you pay import duty on the lot !
     
  3. Does that still apply on second hand stuff?
     
  4. Robbing bastards :-/
     
  5. If its less than £30 you won't get charged
