Just wondering a) were you asked to pay an addition fee for it (i assume this is import duty and vat) and b) how much? now assuming that it is import duty and vat that is being charged is there really much 10c can do or have ups been charging stupid amounts.

Missed delivery today as was in work - but nothing left to say they called. Only know cos i decided to check the web tracking at lunchtime. Getting delivered now on monday to work

    I got charged €45.64.

    Around €32 for vat and the rest as a ups charge, which i can only assume was some sort of brokerage fee.

    It sucks.

    yeah well aware of ups's "handling fee" - afaik they can charge a max of €15.
    but €30 vat seems excessive to me considering it's marked with a value o $100 (thats what €70-odd). It should be exempt from import duty to the the increase of the limit to €120 or so but is still liable to Vat - that i understand.

    I presume they accept cash and issue a full receipt.
