I bought a calendar from an astrophotographer in the UK, total cost was £19 but he put £10 on the packet as value. DHL came and said you need to pay me €8,50 and I was scratching my head as to why he wanted money (I"d forgotten about the calendar as the photographer said it would be a little later down the road before posting)
So I check the packet and see it was in fact the calendar, problem being that before tax is applied you are allowed up to €22 tax free, this Brexit is becoming a joke. I have coins sitting at Stanstead that I posted with Fedex priority, 24hr delivery, 5 days later they are still awaiting customs clearance, everything they wanted has been given to them, there is no need for this wait.
