They should have added and accounted for UK VAT so you'll have to pay import VAT if this omission is spotted when the parcel arrives in the UK. Probably an admin. fee from the courier as well.
Anyone got a parcel stuck at a border recently?

I was a bit worried about ordering some kit and getting slapped with delays/fees, but oddly I managed to find a UK distributor a few miles away from me for what I wanted. My default would have been getting it from Germany but a little more meticulous searching is needed now it seems to get around it any potential hassle.
I suppose it's had one positive in that I'll give a local business a go that I wouldn't have known about before.
Ah right so the seller should have charged VAT.. Will see what happens it's coming via DHL too so imagine it won't be missed.

Not for me.
Another seller just refunded me £20 for the tax he said I had to pay.
His message was "you look after the tax" no tax and it's being delivered tomorrow.
I reluctantly sent a parcel to Belgium (family thing). Sent 8 January and supposed to be delivered by 13 January. Still not arrived
My parcel arrived in Belgium yesterday, four weeks after collection. Now waiting for customs clearance.
Did you get hit with duty from DHL? I ordered an item from Spain before Brexit and DHL sent me a letter a week later saying I owed 50% in duty.
Just got notification from UPS, my parcel was held up for 5 days at their facility before it leaves Germany.
They charged me Import C.O.D and I emailed the seller asking them to refund me the vat or tell ups to refund me the vat as I had already paid.

Ordered an item from Scotland to Belgium on 4th Jan, finally picked up 19th Jan, delivered 3rd Feb after a couple of delays. I'll have paid VAT on that so guess there wouldn't have been anything for the receiver to pay.
I guess the bonus of them being so focused on Brexit shipments is that my package from Thailand arrived in 48 hours with no VAT or customs duty to pay

Ordered a new heatset from Steelseries on Tuesday. Didn't realise that they are shipping from Denmark Via UPS.
Steelseries reckoned a 3-5 day shipping time, now UPS are telling me Next Friday and the tracking page just says "delayed". If they hit me with extra fee's I'll just refuse delivery and tell them to jog on.

I've also been waiting from Nov for several items from one supplier, a few have turned up and one was wrong item.
Odly the item had another address underneath mine with the right description (not sure what it is exactly "Doll") it's something cloth like with a squeaker in it.
Mine isn't stuck, return to amazon.de
Item in original box with all accessories then into an amazon box and gaffer taped to ****
Well and truly waterproofed haha
Had my postage refunded (14 quid or so) had my refund processed and back on my card.
Pretty much 2 weeks after they received the watch they've now emailed me asking why I sent an empty box back.
I've asked them for pics of how it was received, if it was opened by customs, if they video opening of returns so that I can lodge a claim with the courier.
I've had multiple emails back from Amazon from seemingly completely different people/teams apologising for not giving me my refund and saying that they will dispose of the packaging.
Not a single real response to what I've asked for haha
Are amazon front loading the import duty and tax on stuff from EU like they do with stuff purchased from the US?
