UPS are terrible at duty and VAT, half the time they just pass it tax free.

I think they used DHL.
DHL pre pay the vat to make coming through customs faster. They normally charge VAT on the item and the postage and a handling fee. I have stopped using companies that use DHL as everything had charges every time. Anything that uses USPS seems best as it is random 10 parcels last month none with a charge.

Interesting.

Although I went through RedBubble, and as I say, I didn't get charged 3 out of 4 times - but when I did get charged, RedBubble paid the costs anyway, which was cool of them. :)

Amazon.com pre pay it too which saves handling fees you can also spend a certain amount without getting taxed.

More than likely electronics through Customs / Royal Mail / UPS etc will mean you'll get taxed for it. However if you get it delivered to your sister and she resends it with a note inside to say it's a personal gift you'll be exempt.

So can't the whole "it's a gift" thing be done beforehand and it be okay?

Not by the company selling it. A lot of them specifically say that they won't lie about the contents of packages for duty purposes.

If it is from family then they can say it is a gift but it does not look like it matters.

http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/customs/post/buying.htm#4 said:
Gifts sent from outside the EU
If you're receiving a gift from outside the EU, then you have to pay:

  • Excise Duty on any alcohol or tobacco products
  • Customs Duty and import VAT is payable if the value of the gift exceeds £36
To qualify as a gift:

  • it must have been sent from a private person outside the EU to a private person(s) in the UK
  • the Customs Declaration must be completed correctly – see guidance on the customs procedures for goods posted to the UK link below
  • it must be for the personal use of either you or your family
  • there must be no commercial transaction or trade element involved and it must not have been paid for by the recipient either directly or indirectly
  • it must be of an occasional nature only - for example for a birthday or anniversary
  • if it includes tobacco products, alcohols and alcohol beverages, perfume or toilet water, then it must be within the permitted allowances – follow the link below ‘Travelling to the UK.. If the allowances are exceeded then charges apply on the excess

So, at a cruise with four guys this weekend. Had its up and downs, though, these guys are absolutely disgusting. Brags literally all the time of which girls they slept with and how etc, and how they threw them out etc, slept with others while being in a relationship, also the humor is at poo and pee- levels all the time. Absolute filth. One of the guys that I've known for a year, keeps hitting on and getting into all conversations with females because he cannot interact normally. Bottom line - when in the sleeping-quarter i told him/them to fuck off and never contact me again.

I can just see

Mate one 'yeah, I bent her over and fucked her for a straight hour mate, I'm a fucking machine's
Mate two 'yeah but did you chuck her out 5 mins later?'
Felt 'I couldn't do that mate, that's harsh, I usually buy them a new apartment'

Thought It'd be a nice experience all in all, boat trip, giving people a new chance, new apartments etc. Didn't work out. Have you ever gone on one of these booze boat-trips Orm? It's so fucking run-down, 80´s disgusting interior, infants going on their first trip when 18 and single mom's with their kids sleeping while they go out - @old.Tohtori, right up your alley!

Corrected..

Mate one 'yeah, I bent her over and fucked her for a straight hour mate, I'm a fucking machine's
Mate two 'yeah but did you chuck her out 5 mins later?'
Felt 'Yeah.. i have sexual intercourse with females too'

Its not even really true to the fiction known as the bible as such. Chock full of plot holes...they live in a seemingly post apocalyptic waste land, no trees or plants yet somehow manage to be vegetarian. Noah turns out to be an absolute cunt too.

But it has no black people in it so it would be right up @Gwadien's street.
