Hi guys,
Looking for some help or advice here. Its concerning purchase of a Phoibos watch to the UK so I get there will be different costs for any US replies.
My wife has recently ordered one for and paid the extra £25 for DHL tracked shipping. Today she has received a notification from FedEx saying they are holding a parcel and demanding over £250 import fees.
Firstly, I cannot see DHL, with end to end delivery capabilities passing this on to a competitor and secondly, the feeds are disproportionately high against the value of the goods ( unless China has near 40% import fees for goods arriving in EU.)
Parcel is tracking to Heathow where its being held, they are asking import duty and import tax. As far as I know it should be duty on goods and after checking we think it should be around £80 which I can live with, not 250. The watch with VAT is only £420.
We are going to check with Phoibos, my main gripe is if I paid for DHL, as per their website, why are shipping with FedEx? I am inclined to not pay the duty and send it back for a refund.
Any advice or experiences would be appreciated
Cheers, Jeremy
