Its always a reality Millo unfortunately when importing. I attached a zero commercial value invoice as this was a promotion but customs reserve the right to charge. Seems quite steep that though. Perhaps you have imported things before and they run a quota?
Are you talking to me? Lol
No worries, I am of the belief that my country's customs are among if not the most bastard in the world. It even says on the official website they shouldn't charge for stuff under 135€ ( the lable on the package stated 60£ value ) but they do it anyways under voices like " customs handling expenses " or " generic taxes " which basically means nothing at all.
Just out of curiosity what country is that.No worries, I am of the belief that my country's customs are among if not the most bastard in the world.

They often make you pay in taxes almost 50% the value of the merch with no reason whatsoever. Which is the reason why I ( sadly ) stopped ordering stuff from the USA.
Worst thing is you can do nothing about it. No number to call, no email, you basically have to get f'd if you want your item delivered lol.
Don't get me wrong, I am very satisfied with @LEDGROWSHOP.CO.UK , 37€ for something that's worth 150€ is a hell of a bargain, I just wanted to brag about how enormously idiotic my country's customs system is

You're right, I could have done that. But my guess is this kid was just starting on this job and he made a mistake. Shit happens to everyone.
