Nick that is highway robbery! Why so much?

Yeah Steve, it was a real kick in the teeth.
Brian, I have no idea why so much, but I intend to find out just as soon as they release the parcel with the customs documents. They obviously had no idea what the wheels were and decided to slap a nice fat tax rate on them.
Maybe I should nickname my truck project peter$$$$$HOW MUCH?????!!! :eek:

nick reading the UK import laws It looks like the insurance was the issue . even if I where to send as a gift and put the insurance on you would've paid the same :eek::mad: thats how I under stand it . Seems if you want to protect your investment the good ol gov wants a good cut of it :confused: doesn't supprise me the govs are brooke looking for all the cash they can grab :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Oh well, we live and learn. Don't insure and then hope your parcel doesn't get lost and arrives undamaged! What a crazy mixed up world!
