Vape mail arrives...tax man wants his cut?

[stewarty]

TBH still a bargain paying the duty .... like everyone else though really grudge the extra £8 handling charge WTF they have to do 90% of the handling to deliver it anyway ???

That's always been the rub for me as well Stewart, excess duty fair enough. But £8 for putting a card through your door is robbery really . . . the last order of flavourings I had through from the US cost almost £20 in excess.

I tend to have a damm good whinge to myself, pay it and then forget, otherwise it takes the pleasure out of receiving my goodies.

Glad you've got yours sorted now, happy vape mail very soon!

This is what puts me off ordering from places like china, import duty and handling charges. I don't want to spend £20 thinking I've bagged a real bargain to be stung for £8 handling then duty. I've never actually ordered from China or such before for this reason. Wouldn't make it much cheaper than uk vendors otherwise I wouldn't hesitate.

Every Health Cabin or Fasttech order I have received has been declared as either 'gift' or 'spares' with a value of less than $10 irrespective of the value and the invoice does not have values on it. Never had a problem with either HC or Fasttech orders.
