I shipped something to the UK for $10 USD a couple weeks ago, no tracking though.

ok, thanks, I realise it can be a personal thing with some dealers who would just rather stick to the US as well. You have a large customer base there! We on the other hand are much smaller and we like to sell to the American market when we can.
I'd rather post to the US than to Eastern Europe any day!! Stuff, disappears on its way there........

YeOlde, I've attained my Silver $s through trade. You an also find them on ebay.com occasionally and I've seen them go for close to melt (but only occasionally - its usually £15-25 for what I've seen). And I've sent tracked from UK to US - every single poitn was tracked between both countries. But I hear thats not possible to do from USoA to the UK. |

Excuse my ignorance but where did the very first Native Americans come from? Surely they have as good if not better claim than anyone?

I got charged 25% import duty from the US.First time it has happened.
It should be levied at coins under 300 years old (and 5% over 300 years)
I'm doing my bit to get our hammered silver back.(just after the Mayflower sailed)
You have 40 days to claim VAT errors back..be warned.

That happened to me once. I got a refund minus the handling fee. In my case, they read the US dollar customs value and postage as being in £'s rather than $.
"Duty and VAT are calculated as a percentage of the value of the imported goods, consisting of the product value and the freight & insurance costs."
This is why I sometimes ask the folks I buy stuff from to split the shipment into more than one packages. I pay a bit more in postage but that is offset by the fact that Royal Mail\Parcel Force will charge £8 handling fee.

That's kind of absurd; it's like taxing you on the tax. Had you gone to the country and hand-carried the item back, you'd pay no extra fee on the cost of your plane ticket, would you? |

Don't give them ideas. I'm sure they would LOVE to add your airline flight ticket to the price of the coin for figuring VAT and Duties
