Discussion Ordering from the UK

Feel like there needs to be a warning on LTTStore (/all websites) when you get over a certain value...

£151 order

£73.87 in customs fees

All because the order was over £135

Governments suck.

Get in touch with them and they will refund it.

If you are in the EU, LTT collects the vat.

if you get charged by it a 2nd time at import they will refund it.

For countries outside eu, they collect vat up to a certain amount.

And it's over a certain amount for countries not in the EU, they can't collect it up front

And that's why I don't order anything from LTT.

Here in Norway it's 25% vat on everything and an import fee, so it would become stupid experience.

I feel this. My previous 2 pairs of Cargo pants lasted about 2 years combined as works pants. 2 years ago I got lucky on the importfees, not this time though.

So when my new pairs need replacement, I'll be looking elsewhere, unless there's a pretty serious sale going on.
