Just received Alias 3 and had to pay £7.48 when I picked it up at the Sorting Office![]()
I think Duty is only chargeable on orders valued at over £18. I would have been cheaper in time and money to buy here![]()
Ahh you are one of the Lucky people that got it for cheapness ehnwgarratt said:Also customs only take the value before postage (altough the customs charge includes the postage in its calculation)
I went for Without a Trace which only works out at £12 plus about £3.50 postage. So it is £6 under the limit. I have CSI New York Season 1 due at the same amount. That is a real bargain.

I must be very very luckynwgarratt said:The gift method with Amazon.com hasn't worked for a long time. If you order anything over £18 then there is a 99% certainly it will get customs on top.

I have had many items from the USA be it T-shirts etc.
Never once have i had Customs, all the items had a combined price on the front with almost all over £150 each
