Having never had problems in the past, I've been stung by customs with my last 2 orders. It makes buying from bulknutritin untenable - especially the blanket $16 handling fee Royal mail put on top of the 17.5% Tax the customs add, no matter what size the order!
Does anyone have any experience of using FedEx and whether it's less likely to be pulled by customs? Thanks. |

i dont think they'll label them as gifts, and for £110 i think the customs will be £19.25..thats 17.5% of £110 anyway..i just ordered about £100s worth..hopefully i dont get taxed!.. |

it would be roughly 20 quid, unfortunatly the government we have in the UK enjoy stinging us with taxes, thus companies up thier handling fee's to cover thier own personal costs. |
