Hello all,
As the title says I am just getting back into RC after not really being able to afford to continue, i have ordered (from flite test) The inductrix, versacopter parts + electronics and a DX8 amongst other bits and pieces to be delivered to me in the UK (also getting back into heli's and have Blade 180 CFX waiting to be flown , cant wait)
Of course I ordered from the FT store as I love the channel and its the only place I can get a versacopter (looks like a great frame) .
I've just called parcelforce who are now dealing with my items and they have told me I will be charged £154 by customs (haven't received any documentation yet) and considering my order came to £620 that's quite a substantial amount in comparison. Not the best of starts, haha.
I'm not quite sure if there's anything I can do about it at all or if anyone has had a similar experience ordering from FT in the UK
---------------
On a side note I have ordered from FT in the past The anycopter Tri and spare parts if i remember correctly and wasnt charged.
Anyway I would love to hear your experiences and welcome to any advice regarding the charge.
EDIT: have called parcelforce again and asked them to elaborate on the charge and it seems that its the VAT charges, not the best but unavoidable I guess. Just want to get flying!
