Parcelforce fees
I thought I'd ask about this here since a lot of you have order stuff from
the US -
I recently bought a telescope digital camera adaptor from the states.
Along
with the expected 17.5% VAT charge from customs, parcelforce added their
own
£13.50 "handling" charge.
This seems a bit off to me - postage ($31) had been paid properly by the
company that sent the goods - I don't see why Parcelforce gets to charge
yet
another fee, and effectively hold my goods to ransom to get it. It smells
like a scam to me.
The postage, VAT and this "fee" added another £55 to the cost of
the item -
that wiped out a goodly chunk of the savings from buying overseas :-(
Anyone else get scammed like this? Does it seem unfair to you too?
