Holden1989 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Recently we have bought some new injectors from RHD japan, had to push them about shipping as they were a bit slow (this is normal i pressumed from previous responses on here) but have just got a letter through..... From FedEx, an invoice for £30 for postage from japan, the injectors on RHD's website were originally £360 (or something like that) then it went up to £420 at the checkout, so i assumed postage was included as it is with anything bought on the internet What can i do about this? we certainly dont want to be paying £30 but i dont know which side is in the wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Import duty I expect. It's a normal part of the 'bend-over britain' tax process. Fedex will have paid the import bill directly, to expedite your delivery, but they recover that cost from the receiver, not the sender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kslb Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I recently received items from overseas and as well as the tax I was also charged a handling fee by the uk delivery company to cover them paying the tax and doing the paper work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 yepp i got something from the usa via fedex. screwed me for 10 quid. ok so it was only 10 quid but i objected. dont see why i should have been taxed on a 2nd hand car part :S anyway i waited for them to keep sending me letters untill they started getting strongly worded. Then i paid it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden1989 Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 Ahh this must be what it is, it says fedex pac VAT and Administration fee, surely there should be a warning on RHDs website? so overall a advertised set of injectors costing £360 has eventually costed £450, what a joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
