Apologies if this would be more suitable in the Kobo forum, but it's not actually concerning the device itself.

So, I ordered a Kobo Elipsa from the Kobo UK store. It was dispatched from the Netherlands, to the UK, and arrived about a week ago. Today, I received an invoice from FedEx for the sum of £88.25 to cover "import duty/VAT paid by Fedex, or clearance charges, or both".

Has anyone else in the UK had this? I was under the impression that taxes (etc) were included in the price charged by Kobo!
