The way it works in the UK is that if a parcel is received via the normal postal service, it's pure "pot luck" whether you get charged VAT on it or not (seems to be about 50/50 for me). If it's sent via a courier company (FedEx, DHL, etc), then the courier pays all the duties on your behalf and then sends you a bill, with a hefty "processing fee" added on - I think that's what must have happened to you.
So what I think you're actually asking Robert is to please send parcels through the post, rather than using a courier  . |
Thanks for translating me.
That should do it.
