    Plus a rough calculation listing the shipping as free will show you will end up with a customs charge of roughly £110.

    Not true. They are instructed to deliver to an address. Anyone at the address can sign on your behalf.

    Where the goods are dispatched by the trader to the consumer, disputes may arise, in the event of loss or damage, as to the moment at which the transfer of risk takes place. Therefore this Directive should provide that the consumer be protected against any risk of loss of or damage to the goods occurring before he has acquired the physical possession of the goods. The consumer should be protected during a transport arranged or carried out by the trader, even where the consumer has chosen a particular delivery method from a range of options offered by the trader. However, that provision should not apply to contracts where it is up to the consumer to take delivery of the goods himself or to ask a carrier to take delivery. Regarding the moment of the transfer of the risk, a consumer should be considered to have acquired the physical possession of the goods when he has received them


    i never received that goods and they never has been delivered to someone in my family

    They have proof and a record of it being delivered to your address and signed for, it does not have to be you.

    That's difficult to answer because you haven't yet told us about the access arrangements to this block of flats.

    For example, if it is a house converted into two flats and you live in (say) flat 2, then if the delivery guy rings the bell for flat 2 and someone answers and signs for the delivery then the carrier's responsibility, and that of the seller in this respect, is at an end.

    P.s. what's a 'flat palace'?
