I hate to make posts like this, but feel duty bound to. I really facied trying some AoS soap, and googled to find a UK supplier at a decent price. Most came in around the £34-£35 mark, once postage was added. I decided to go with the above as they were selling it at £33.99 with free postage, which made it slightly cheaper than the others.
They have UK phone numbers and took payment in sterling.
What a nasty surprise when I get a card saying I have an item with a customs payment due - total £11.67.
They had shipped from hong kong, which meant VAT was charged, along with a handling fee.
There was no indication at time of ordering that it was actually going to be shipped from elsewhere. It is only reading the terms and conditions that the possibility of additional costs is mentioned.
This meant I have actually paid rather a high price, and I suspect two lots of VAT.
