    Default Just bought a nifty phone cover from USA

    And had to pay £15 import tax on it!

    The cover is worth £24, where on Earth do they get that from??

    Most of that will be Parcel Force's fee for paying Customs and storing it for you

    Handling fee.

    Still - I'd challenge that one!

    Yeah, they charge £8 for the handling. You don't have a choice but to use them.

    If it's under the value of £18 you don't have to pay import duty IIRC.

    I got buggered with that buying huarches.

    Booooo I thought £24 was too much for a phone case in the first place, but it's a zombie David Bowie....

    The only good phone case is a leather phone case
