The last post here before yours was 2011 so you can pretty much dismiss most of the information.Now that we are not in the EU, has anyone had costly experiences ordering from there? I ordered some Nuàvia Blu yesterday and received the following today:

It's my favourite soap, but I'm not paying an extra £36 for it.

Yes, I knew things had changed, I just thought this was the most appropriate existing forum. I only ordered one tub of Pannacrema at around 40€, including tax. That what surprised me so much.The last post here before yours was 2011 so you can pretty much dismiss most of the information.
The customs charge is all to do with the amount you’ve spent,
How much was your order ?
i know from the states iv i’m around the £200 mark i get around £40 ish
I managed to find some at Pasteur Pharmacy in the USA. Delivery was less than $7. I'll wait a bit longer, but it's actually worked out better.Your Shaving sell them but they aren't in stock. If you can cancel your original order then order from YS later on. AFAIK a few of us have ordered from YS and never been hit with a customs charges when ordering from them.

Also, I think the flipside of terrible fees importing from the EU is that there's no fee for goods from the states under £135. I'm sure it used to be around the £20 mark before you'd come home to a grey 'There's a Fee to Pay' card from Royal Mail.That's a great deal! $7 for shipping from the States is almost a giveaway!
That’s a crazy price to pay for a £40 itemYes, I knew things had changed, I just thought this was the most appropriate existing forum. I only ordered one tub of Pannacrema at around 40€, including tax. That what surprised me so much.
I think the "customs duty of 36 GBP" is nonsense for a 40 euro order.Also, I think the flipside of terrible fees importing from the EU is that there's no fee for goods from the states under £135.

It does influence my decision to buy - quite a lot. Never liked paying a premium on top of a premium.
I can testify to that as have been ordering stuff from them over the last 2 years and never been hit with any charges as I keep my orders below about £60 each time I order. They will also ship colognes/ext etc if you select the cheapest shipping as it’s done via road and not air. Normally takes about a week to arriveYour Shaving sell them but they aren't in stock.

Just checked your shaving and have posted the link https://yourshaving.com/gb/buscar?controller=search&s=PannaYes, I knew things had changed, I just thought this was the most appropriate existing forum.

I’ve been tempted to buy from Pasteur because of their great postal rates. Went there to buy a couple of soaps today, as they have a bit of a sale on, and they’ve ramped up postal charges to the UK to a minimum of £22, making it just completely unaffordable and not worth running the customs risk, or any risk to be honest as now cheaper to buy in this countryI managed to find some at Pasteur Pharmacy in the USA.

Yeah, I was under the impression that EU and UK have similar systems for VAT now... for purchases under €150, you, as a vendor selling from UK to EU, are supposed to collect EU states' VAT and then settle with the EU tax authority directly via IOSS. For purchases over €150 this system can't be used, and it will be the usual "extra charges bingo" for your EU customers, or you could use an agent.I am looking into joining the EU system as many European services are catching & charging fees on the parcels I export. I am not happy with the amount they charge for brokerage, in some instances 15 to 30 Euros plus import VAT on the goods.
