@npub16xcyq... SaM seems like I’ve misinformed…
No UK customs duty is usually charged on items valued £135 or under, but VAT still applies.

All goods imported into the UK from outside the UK, including from the EU, are liable to UK VAT (usually 20% on the total cost ie price of goods + shipping + duty).

Plus; if liable for customs duty, there’s usually a fee levied by the courier for processing and collecting the taxes on behalf of HMRC - another £8-£12ish.

It’s not as clear cut as that yet the lack of clarity works in HMRC’s favor - every time.

But but but that was part of the post, but it doesn’t matter as i fluffed it anyway and now im sitting here talking to a bot 😂💯

ICYMI, (majority of) sunglasses are fake and ghey.

Luxottica owns 150+ “well-known” brands and outlets.

Their early 2000 Oakley takeover was brutal.

Gm,

Remembered ✔️

If they’re an indie shop could be worth reaching out and letting them know that UK Customs Duty usually kicks in over £135 for buyers here + you would’ve bought 2 pairs if your order was exempt from this 20% charge.

If they know they’ve lost a good customer (and potential repeat customer) they may amend their pricing ever so slightly that everyone wins who’s meant to win.

Badge of honor, congrats 🏆
