Want to make people aware of the risk of having to pay customs charges on certain goods from the States and in particular if you order the tshirts that say 'Lupus sucks' etc.
The t shirts are great and I ordered 2 different ones. But what the web site didnt mention was that if you have more than one it makes the value more than £18 which is the cut off point for paying extra customs duty.
So not only did I pay 45 dollars for the tshirts to be posted but had to pay a further TWELVE POUNDS (GBP) to collect them from the post office!!!
They are good but they are not that good!
I did let the people who ran the website know my feelings about the extra charges and suggested that they should make a point of warning their UK customers but they didnt seem to bothered! Bless 'em!
