Well I hope you're not paying customs charges from goods shipped in the EU, because you shouldn't be - not on this kind of thing anyway.

I had a $2000 value package come to me from Germany and there was no custom charge, and the value was masked either.

There isn't supposed to be any personal customs charges on goods shipped between countries within the EU.

Isn't the UK a member of the mighty European Union ?!?

And i recently got Slug 3 from Shawn adn i asked him to mask the price, which he did (god bless him) and i never paid any duty whatsoever

As we are all Europeans you shouldn't pay taxes for French stuff.

When I said that I paid $30 for customs, it was with masked price. If you declare it as a $300 game you would pay around $70! <img src="graemlins/veryangry.gif" border="0" alt="[Very Angry]" />

If you live in the UK don't you still have to pay VAT regardless of where it comes from?

I have bought Neo games from England, France and Germany and never paid taxes for them (I live in Spain).
