Keith,
You'll probably find that, of the =A327.05 that Parcelfarce charged you,
only =A317.05 was Duty/VAT. The rest was an "administration fee"
on their
part!
Also - be fair, it wasn't a =A320 toy you ordered - it was a =A365 one ;-)

Peaved is not the word......
Got a call from home today to say that my Siteplayer module had arrived.
www.siteplayer.com
Originally I was just going to get the module for $30 but opted for the
full
development kit at $99.95.
P&P was an additional $35 making a total of =A394.78 approx. Before the
Parcel
Force operative would release his sweaty mits from my parcel, Sharon had
to
stump up =A327-05 for flaming Customs duty.
This means that what started life as a =A320-00 (approx) toy to see if I
can
web enable KAT5 has ended up costing me a grand total of almost =A3125.
Agreed I actually bought more than just the module, but total for all
the
stuff I ordered was only =A369-94.
Apparently because the package was marked with a value of $100 it was
liable, but it was actually 5 cents less than that :-(
If this turns out to be as useful as I think it will be I need to find a
UK
supplier.
