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!
Kobo UK has a phone number you can call to speak to someone about this.

United Kingdom: 0-800-404-9511
