currently Economy service Vat from the USA to the Uk is 17.5 % I know this because I have 3 bills to pay to fedEx for some sideshow and hot toys stuff I've had recently, one good thing with fedex is they post you your item first and then send you the bill, bad thing is on top of the 17.5% vat they charge a handling fee of £10 just to bump the pricejust as an ideasideshow cost £125.52vat at %17.5 = £23.11 + £10 handling admin fee ( robbing bastards )total £33.11 I think your looking at paying approx £60+ if it's marked up as $500 <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/confused.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":confused:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"confused.gif\" /> gotta way it up mate, will it be cheaper to decline the parcel and have it sent back to the sender and then get it re posted marked as a gift with no more than $40 or pay the bill now and just have it, depending if they don't open the parcel and check it out , thats when it becomes a Sheep <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pinch.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":pinch:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"pinch.gif\" /> This is down to customs mate and I know it's horrible to hear but if it did get destroyed it's not really down to fredsmiddlefinger to replace it he's done his side of the sale , so he would end up taking a loss if he re built you a glove in time and materials for something that he is not responsible for <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"
\" border=\"0\" alt=\"sad.gif\" />for this reason only I'd say if they have not opened it already pay what the hell they want and get it delievered because they sure as hell will open it up if they have to send it back and then there is a 90% chance your not going to see that glove again <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pinch.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":pinch:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"pinch.gif\" />
