You pay the courier when he rattles at your door with the goods.. Tax, depends on what 034 have stated is in the package, I've had a few bits sent from them and they've often declared a lower price for what's in the parcel when it's going through the customs / delivery process.. If I remember back I payed £14 for the ARP stud kit and the turbo oil and water lines a couple of months ago..

Erm well normally I get them to put down a lot lower declared value than in the box, then normally get a reminder in post to pay duty and handling charge, though sometimes things slip through the net and don't have to pay at all

I paid £27 for an order of $100, I think it is a staged pricing....and I had to pay parcel farce worldwide...and £15 of the price is their "fee" for doing absolutely nowt!...

(Not sure if this thread wants to be in the for sale area. Mods - is it worth moving it?)

Exactly why I requested a reduced price , think my last parcel fee was £23 for a $250 order

Whatever the deckared value in pounds is over £25 x 1.04 x 1.2 +£12to15 clearance charges depending on carrier.

So for example £100 declared value x 1.04 import duty car parts = £104 x 1.2 vat (yes tax a tax) = £124.80 + clearance charges £15 = £139.80

So your charges will be £39.80 in this example.
