Don't forget about the bs global shipping program ebay has thrust upon us. Not to let Airfix off the hook. I ordered a few kits from the online store and if I spent 99lb I get free shipping to Canada. They just failed to tell me my package was being held hostage by a brokerage company that wanted $42 to release it to me. The real only place you get cheap or free shipping is from mainland China. I have never had any problems receiving my orders,they just take a month or so to arrive.The actual postage charges from Canada were reasonable, for the size of the parcel - around £12 or £14 I think.
The 'rip off' was Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs not using their eyes, or brain cells, and reading $32.50 Canadian Dollars (the value of the kit), as £3,250 British Pounds, and charging VAT (20% tax) on that sum at £328.26 - which, if you check the calculation, is still wrong !!
Always happens when you turn your back....put the kettle on or in any other way leave them there electronic cards unattended....
