Speaking as an employee of the aforementioned organisation, it never ceases to amuse me when people moan about paying duty which they are legally required to pay in order to receive said items into the country, or discuss ways to circumvent it. If I actually knew who I could feed this back to in terms of 'intelligence', I would do so, trust me.

This post offends me greatly. As a result, I won't be posting on this forum again.

And a word to the wise - you never know who is lurking (and watching) on these forums.

I'm not really too worried who it is charging me. I accept being charged VAT or duty. What I object to is being charged it on shipping, and then being charged a 'handling fee' for the privilege of the whole thing.

What I really object to is that it makes it so hard to work out where the best place to buy something is, and whether I am prepared to pay that price.
