If using Amazon and charged customs duty etc can you refuse the pay the extra if it was not advertised? Bearing in mind that Amazon hold your card details.
I don’t know about Amazon but some buyers of EU goods have been refusing to pay the courier company to have them released for delivery and they have then been sent back to the seller. I’m sure Amazon is clued up enough to tell you of extra charge prior to confirming the order.
In a few days I will find out. In my case the cost of the two items is less than £15 so any extra costs will be minimal. But there is a principle in that, if they could incur a duty charge, notice should be clearly stated when the purchase is made.
I have occasionally made purchases of low cost items directly from China. The labels show they have cleared custom, but, apart from the long wait I have never paid extra. Except for about 10 years ago. I bought a Bose Bluetooth speaker from Hong Kong. It was priced at £165 here. I paid about £130. I thought I had a great deal. But then I got charged duty which brought it to about £162! When I looked at the very small print, the warning was there. On the plus side, it still works well.
