A mate bought a buggy online from Mothercare and had it delivered to me here...around £150 cheaper for him than buying in Germany. I'm flying over there tomorrow to see him and taking it with me...still in original packaging etc. It'll be going in the hold as checked baggage. The box is nearly as big as myself 😯

This could be a stupid question, is this all kosher? Or am I going to be stung for import duty once I get to Frankfurt?

But possibly excess luggage - maybe unbox it?

No, it's only 10kg. Have paid for up to 20 with airline (flybe). It's no bigger than a set of golf clubs really.

If within weight then fine unless package is really large but if out of packaging then fine.

What buggy is it, to be (I guess) a folder, and £150 less!
