  both arrived in small padded envelopes with no extra charge .

 hope you are lucky,

 but a smaller item from the USA cost me £19 extra

Parcel force don't collect on behalf of HMRC, they Rob you on behalf of HMRC.😄.

I've had four orders from Cruzinimage (two over £80 value). All have got through with no tax. I've ALWAYS been taxed on shipments from USA. ebays Global shipping (which Cruzin do not use) collects the tax up front and seems to be cheaper...no Royal mail admin charge.

Parcel force recruitment picture  ;D

Bryanj:
The "official" way it is worked out is:-

Import tax is 3% of goods PLUS postage

Add vat of 20% on the above

Add post office/ courier charge, used to be £8 but i think its now £11.

In theory there is a value below which no charge is made, but only on gifts not purchases and UPS ALWAYS puts on a charge.
