Sorry, but I wasn't ranting about shipping, I was very much aware how much this would cost me .No I was angry about the costs which was added on this side of the water !!!!
I have never paid any VAT or mail cost on ANY purchase sent from the US( and I have had a few in the past!),but to be told by British Customs " you have been lucky" is a bit much I think. VAT , yes I can just about accept but handeling charges by Royal Mail ?, O come on !!!! £8. on a £40. parcel is extortionate. So that was my little rant !!!! Mad Gertie from England
