• Ordered cork underlay from Engeland.

    Get an email: You are in NI it has to come from Poland.
    Me: That's ok.

    Now get another email: And it's 20% vat on top now.
    Me: WTF

    I asked why as NI is in the EU customs union but if this goes on might have to try to source elsewhere.

    Honestly...! Edit: I'm just going to ring them maybe it's just confusion cos emails.

  • Wouldn't / couldn't you just* claim the VAT back once you had it?

    * I know - "just"

  • We paid 10.95€ on a 20GBP gift sent to us in Spain from friends in the UK yesterday. I don't understand how the charges add up anymore?

    We've paid out close to 100€ in post/tax charges since our daughter was born, to the point where we've told people not to send anything. Insane.
