I have used the search function, but answers vary from £20 to £50.
I cried a bit once when I spent £27 and got £15 on charges, handling and tax from the USA. Old cutter (AUS) order sailed through.
What is the score? Basket could be £12 or £37.

Jenson use fedex, who IME will charge you a tenner, plus a bit of VATty type stuff

Even if less than £20?

Very small items seem to pass through without charge I have found.
Items valued $43 max also pass through
FedEx are uber efficient and look at everything, but are also uber quick - 4 days from US posting to a FedEx driver calling at your door - truly incredible
to be stung on such a low value item is really a POS

I thought it was £18 before charges but then I have had a frame from the states which sailed through, and some little parts which I got charged £13 for! Seems like it is pot luck.
Have another frame coming from the states, so will see what happens with that.Posted 2 years ago # -
Bonesetter - why is it a POS?
You ordered it from Jenson because it was cheaper, this is because the shipping, taxes & UK distributor margins havent been taken into account.

It's a POS when you get stung on a SS cog which cost $20.
The said item was unavailable here and cost price was expensive to begin with... go figure
It wasn't from Jenson btw

Luck, basically, I've ordered a lot of stuff that was officially taxable over the years and just a couple of bits were taxed/dutied. The only part I take issue with is the high Parcel Force handling charge, other than that it's lucky to escape it and fair play if you don't.
I don't know if it's an Internet Fact or actually true but a lot of people do say you're more likely to get charged with Fedex. Jenson offer you a choice though so I took the regular postal one.
