Default Re: VAT & Customs Duty on imported items

It depends on which company you buy goods from. I have bought several different parts from Digi-key, an American based company that has a Uk office, and all VAT on other charges are included in the price paid in UK pounds as shown onscreen. Free carriage over £33 and usually arrives in 48 hours with detailed tracking information. Ordered a transformer for a jukebox late Saturday afternoon, picked packed and waiting couriers collection in 20 minutes, and it was on my doorstep at 9.20 Monday morning. Superbly double packed, not even a mark on the outer box. Of course there was no ‘extra’ post office £8.00 charge.
