Hi Guys
Ive ordered four MRC sound decoders from America at £15 pounds each, total bill £67 with shipping. Arrived home from work today and found card from Royal Mail to pick up item from sort depot, but there will be £18.48 customs charge. This seems a bit excessive, how do they work out this charge and has anyone else had a similar experience?.
I was once charged for a second hand item I won on EBay which was £20 pounds from Gurnsey and the duty was £41 pounds. I could have bought item brand new for £35 in town. Fed up with charges don't the goverment get enough of my money as it is.
Regards Baz
