if i buy something form the US for £130, do i have to pay any tax or anything on it?

[lizandlulu]

i just wondered cause i dont want to buy it then get stung for loads of tax! i have asked the buyer but he hasnt replied yet, thank you.

ah I got ya now
I have always been wary but if its ok maybe i could try buying the odd thing thanks!

so would tax be an issue when they are handed over here? who asks you to pay the extra tax and how do you do it am a newbie newbie

yes the parcel carrier would usually ask for the tax etc to be paid when it arrives
eg UPS turn up in their fancy van and hand you a bill for £40

but they do have lovely uniforms
