I’ve order the Argent Data Arduino Shield Kit for a little project and been well and truly had by the post Office. £3 worth of customs duty on an £18 item and £8 for the privilege of them paying the bill. Best not choose that option again

Where did it come from? USA? I've given up buying small items from USA because of this.

You're right. It came from the US. I can't help feel that they are playing by the rules and other non EU countries are being a bit naughty and putting the wrong details on the declaration. Its a bit rich when the handling fee is twice the cost of the duty though. I've paid it in the past with other forwarders and it hasn't been anywhere like that. Mainly nowt!
