Are cosmetics taxed? I bought a 50 ml jar of soap from the UK. It costs less than 2 GBP. Seller posted it on 23 April.
Shouldn't I have received it by now? How do you know whether your shipment is held by Customs due to tax? |

QUOTE(electronicfly @ May 6 2012, 06:15 PM) Item so cheap, and only one jar, impossible kena tax. What sort of postage was used? Unless it's expedited mail, be prepared to wait longer. It's been barely 2 weeks, so if used normal mail it can take about another 2 weeks or more. My parcels from UK (treated like normal mail one, no tracking, not expedited) usually take about 5 weeks to reach me. Don't need to get pharmacy approval for the Customs, right? Normal Royal Mail International Small Packets. Magazines that I buy off eBay reach me in 10 days. I think my ASOS parcel took 20 days? |
