I have paid a lot of customs charges over the years, as have many others. Sometimes something might slip through. Its not customs thats the problem in your argument, its the post office standing charge. The items you pay for with correct customs paid etc etc likely dont get twatted with ten pounds a time for something where the customs cost was actually a pound or two. The post office charges take the piss. I have no doubt the whole, we have to deliver it to customs, and collect it and there is the cost of repackaging and collecting the money and lord knows whatever other bs they can add to justify it comes into play, but the fact stands, minor customs charge, ridiculous rm charge equals end users getting fucked.
i am not condoning ripping off her majestys customs, perish the thought, but the whole stop everything and make em pay mentality is to my mind insulting. Lets do away with customs and instead make every parcel coming from other than the uk a standing delivery charge addition of fifty quid, that seems fair. THen everyone pays.
seriously, what does the stop everything do for the end user?
or are you talking about a uk business owner who loses out. Those same sellers who buy in cheap and sell way beyond the realms of a reasonable profit? I am not talking about uk sellers of mods and the like who add a tenner to the price, thats kind of fair for a business thats done the hard work of getting it here. But some just flat take the piss.
