    Reject the goods, raise a charge back via your bank. Costs the vendor a little extra to send the items DDP so you don't have to pay the duty and import vat.
    You also to be aware sending goods back does not wipe out any custom charges of delivery co's fee's for collection of said taxes.

    Add in change of mind is not covered by chargebacks, or a return because received a extra charge for duty etc.

    What is the basis for you thinking DPD are not charging you for the duty???

    DDP not DPD - DDP is a customs term (delivered duty paid) which means the sender is liable for the import taxes, DAP is duty at point, where the receiver has to pay.

    User has ordered from a site who sent the goods DAP per their terms as OP is liable for import taxes, they can try and sent it back DDP but the firm will almost certainly refuse to pay so it'll go back to OP at their expense.

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

    My bad on ddp.. 🤦‍♀️

    Good luck on getting a retailer to do that, when they have no idea on charges.
