VAT when buying from Stewmac.com
What's Hot
Has anybody had experience on buying from stewmac.com in the US and delivering in the UK. I’m buying as an individual not a business.
I want to buy some tools that will cost about £100 with shipping. I believe there is no import duties charge as the order is below £135, but what about VAT?
Also is the £135 the total cost with shipping or just the cost of the products?
Comments
They make it ridiculously easy, in my experience.

Bit of trading feedback here.
I generally go for quick which arrives in a few days via DHL who then bill you for the VAT and service charge.
My last order I chose slow which comes via ParcelForce who hold it a week before you get the bill for VAT etc. which you have to pay up front before they release the parcel.
You pays your money...
How can I estimate the courier service charge?
In Stewmac website the "International Express" shipping method shows only shipping fees.
