Has anyone in the UK ordered from V Store Biz and been charged import taxes etc. on delivery or has the transaction gone through without being stung for the excessive tax & extortionate P.O charges that come along as the extra bonus charge ?
I used them just last month for the first time.....good skills, good prices, quick delivery and no stingers..... I did use the option they offer to send a full box figure stripped out of the box in a smaller parcel, as I am not a big o e for keeping display boxes, and was very impressed with the level of packing and speed of delivery ......ditto toyztactic.....
I used them earlier this month for the first ever time, paid the express....bought Wednesday, arrived Friday with no charges. I used the option too without the original box.
Good store. Order there all my figures. Also good prices. Somehow lately customs got all my figures. Really annoying and expensive. But that's another story!
Yes, got slapped with a huge customs charge and fee from Parcelforce which came to over £60 for a GI Joe Cobra figure! I suspect that no purchase is safe but orders from the US and Australia seem to attract them more frequently.
Oh well.....that doesn't sound promising at all, my 1/6th hobby has dropped over the past year or so, with CK's pre-orders disappearing and the prices soaring its certainly helping to kill this hobby in the UK.....I remember buying as many as 15+ figures in a year not so long ago....this year....three or four, certainly going downhill.
Got my order today. It was well wrapped and I am pleased. Only a few loose items so not eligible for a customs charge but I will probably order something bigger from them and see if I get a ransom demand.
I have had a few of their "out of the box" deliveries.....not been caught yet....though I probably just jinxed it
