The clothes are expensive in the first place, but if you have a weakness for that kind of thing, this is cheaper than buying it in the UK.
This is the link to the discount code:

Bear in mind UK customs duty is 12% on clothing, plus VAT at 17.5% unless qualifying as children's clothing.
AND some USA clothing is being hit by additional duty due to international trade arguments.0 -
Why don't you buy from a uk site save on the import charges etc, there's plenty site selling clothes0

:eek:
Are you sure it was royal mail?
I thought if the item arrives by royal mail you only pay a customs clearance fee of £4. Unless things have changed.
The fee is £13.50 for parcelforce and various extortionate amounts for other couriers.
You only pay duty if the duty is over £7, otherwise you just pay VAT at 17.5%. (Which, admittedly, for most designer clothes, is probably payable)

Quite sure. I hadn't got any money and the postie wouldn't give me the parcel. I had to go to the bank and then to pick it up at the sorting office.Official DFW Nerd No 096 - Proud to have dealt with my debt!0

How can you ask that with a name of Poser?
I like the quality of American women's trousers in boutiques over here, can't afford them, so...
Most of that type of US site will make a hrm 'favourable' customs declaration for export orders, though I don't know about this one in particular.0 -
£25 charge levied by Royal Mail for seeing the package through the customs process
That is appalling. I used to order American boutique items from US a while ago. The most I ever had to pay was 17.5% import tax (actually 22.5% for sheepskin which is an anomaly) plus a PO handling fee of about £3. Most of the time I paid no import duty - it was very random.
Unless there has been a drastic revision of PO charges, you should look into the £25 you were charged.0
