Excuse me, but i dont have a problem with paying the VAT or Customs charge, i dont make any attempt to get round customs charges. If it doesnt get flagged then yeah its an added bonus. I just order it and wait for it to turn up!
What i do have a problem with is having to pay a frankly daft charge just to have my package passed from one side of a building to the other. Then get abused by obnoxious staff when i politely question it, based on what i've been told in the past by that company and the HMRS.
As i said before if i could of got what i wanted from the UK i would have.
I've had parcels stopped before that have come through the post office and never had to pay any more than a handling charge similar to the vat/customs charge... its the same company and probably the same central depot.
