Purchasing from Europe - the VAT / Del Charge situation
Posted: 12 Jan 2021, 13:19
I almost ordered from Thomman - selected the UK Store.
The price quoted was not including VAT. Also the situation around having to pay the VAT to whoever delivers the item looks a bit confusing.

With this situation open to scams - I think we need to watch this one.
This morning we had a card put through the door - which looks like the Post Office official card. It's asking us to pay VAT duty before delivery.
We are not expecting anything - there is no clue. We suspect that a previous occupier of our house (lazy gits) have ordered something and so this is coming to us like a lot of mail for them.
We have been in this house over two years now.
So it looks like this may be a common situation where people that move don't sort their new address situation.
So is the Thomman UK store actually in the UK?
