Hey, just ordered myself a nice new back which the currency converter said would cost £92 inc shipping which is costly but I can just about do it.
One of these. My back can't deal with a courier bag anymore.

The thing is at the bottom of the email confirmation it says
***International Express price does not include Duty, Customs Adjustment or VAT.

FUCK! So another £45 ish for VAT etc. Anyone got anything from these guys and did these charges actually get put on? Bit annoying that they don't say anything when you order.
