I ordered £560 from Autodoc with no charges.
I think it's more do do with you are buying from a "UK site", although there are sent from their German warehouse.
Crucially, HM Revenue & Customs warns you WON'T necessarily be told of extra charges such as customs duty and courier fees at the point you order an item, because the seller isn't charging you these directly. So it's important to work out and factor in likely extra charges when you order. If in doubt:
- Check where the item is coming from. We've heard several cases of people thinking they were ordering from a UK firm, before later finding out the order has come from France, Italy or another European country.
Importantly, it's where the item is dispatched from which counts – not where it's manufactured, or where the company you're buying from is based. So if in doubt, check with the seller.
The radio was via eBay, they did not collect the VAT, it was Parcel Force.
If the shipment is valued at over £135 it will be sold to you excluding VAT (this includes online marketplaces), and this (plus import duty if applicable) will become payable to HMRC on arrival in the UK (usually collected by the shipper).
