Aren't customs free if it's sent as a gift? If that is so, I would assume they are sending everything as a gift...i could be wrong though

What's the point of listing it as original price instead of as a gift ? Doesn't make a difference to them does it ...

Even got a broadcast announcement from the Café about this.... it's only 13 countries that have the $9 flat rate shipping. Now, if they had said in their ad that- that would have been more honest.
The maximum shipping to some countries can still be as high as $27 |

If it isn't paid in advance, then HMRC will hold your package, send you a card telling you what has to be paid, and deliver it only after the charge is paid. No exceptions whatsoever. |

£175???
as far as I am aware the limit is £18 for the UK, I have certainly been charged for items way less than £175. |

But you pay both custom duties AND VAT for goods valued at £175 and greater. From the HMRC website: https://www.gov.uk/government/publicatio......st-users EDIT - I see I made a mistake: it's £135 and above that you start paying customs duty and VAT. Not £175. Sorry about that. |

Its 27$ to me as well.. But I thoght its ok.. I get tracking, but the first thing the tracking tells me is that this shipment does not have tracking. and I highly doubt it will arrive in 5 - 9 days eighter as they advertised seeing it is 7 days since my order. So looks like they in my case not just have raised the shipping cost but giving me nothing more than I had before.
so for us that don't live in the 9$ zone the adertising is horrible and the price change is even horrible..er? |

Jansverre - This is still a new system and we're working out the kinks. Please contact support at E if it doesn't arrive in 9 days from the shipping date so we can figure out what's going on.
