My order was due to arrive today, but has been pushed back to next Wednesday, due to shipping delays.

OK. So on a TG order of £193.32 (including £9.69 postage), I've just been advised that the import charges are as follows: NOTE: the total value used for calculation of all Duty-based fees is 0.00. Government Charges: 47.09 Brokerage Charges: 11.50 Freight Charges: 0.00 VAT: 0.00 Given UPS haven't filled in the VAT total and have zero-rated the duty, I would still hazard a guess that the £47.09 includes VAT and duty. The UPS handling charge is £11.50, on par with what Parcelforce tend charge on import. I honestly think this is pretty much on par with what was expected, as I was looking at about £40 in VAT and under £10 on duty (despite what the UPS receipt says). The handling fee is ridiculous, but I've been paying that on imports from the US for years, so again was expected. Overall, it is probably marginal in terms of whether any additional costs have been incurred. If you meet the minimum spend, it seems about the same, and still cheaper for me than getting the kit/RIF in the UK.

Yes. It was just under £200, so I'm interested to see how this goes. I'll post an update later this week.

Yup. Ordered a couple of days ago. Scheduled delivery is Thursday by UPS. The parcel is in their distribution hub in Poland.

I had an order in the TG basket for a few weeks for a CYMA 700A for £132.76. They kindly sent an email every few weeks to me to remind me it was in there: CM.700A (490FPS) - Olive Drab [CYMA] CYMA | Dostępny £132.76 I've just checked my basket and the same gun has reduced to £110.59. That's about a 17% reduction, so UK customers aren't fully benefitting from not paying the local VAT rate in Poland (23%). However, the RIF is still cheaper than in the UK, assuming you meet the minimum £140 threshold, and other discounts also complicate the calculation.
