Do fasttech put lower price on parcel to avoid customs if it a 50 quid item? They normally put a $20'ish value on parcels which was fine before as that was below the limit for VAT but the exchange rate has been crap recently and you could get snagged because depending on the exchange rate it might be slightly higher than the limit allowed before VAT. Around £3,ish for the VAT plus the £8 Royal Mail charge for collecting it. If you go to "manage and track orders" on your account after placing the order and open a ticket on the order you placed asking them to put a different amount on the parcel declaration form they will though.

NO.
They also incorrectly mark both up and down. They sent me a $14 item once and listed it as $20. That put me in the firing line.
cough, cough... *we had words*.....
