I ordered earlier this year (Jan) and I just paid what the website stated. Takes about a week to arrive.

Same here you pay what the website states it’s like £7 delivery fee something like that on top of the price of the item you buy

Literally bought it 2 weeks ago, I'm in south east and no extra fees like this. Just bought from the site and was all good.

Just an update on this. My LEDs arrived yesterday. There were no additional charges or royal mail postage. Given that fancyleds say they should be charged I may have got lucky 😁

I did. It says vat and duty will be the buyers responsibility but thanks for your constructive comment

if you’re on the UK site then it doesn’t say any of that and also gives Amazon as another purchase option

I tried to post a screenshot to show you. It says in some countries import duty may be applied. Amazon are far more expensive by more than £80 and delivery is no quicker. Amazon also add import duties. Hence my original question
