    UPS have just delivered some boxes, but charged ?5.80 a box 'import duty'. Never happened before so why now.
    Anyone waiting for boxes may get the same shock.

              I always aim for DHL when ordering things from abroad. I've never been hit with a charge once from them. Each time Parcel Force deliver to me (not sure of which courier the sender has used) I get hit with a fine.

              I deliberately chose DHL when ordering 5 boxes, didn't get charged anything. Granted DHL was about ?15 more expensive though.

                  No control over carrier other then specifying EMS. Obviously DVBSeller makes this decision.
                  If anyone knows a way of specifying a specific carrier then let me know. PLEASE!

                      strange though I know ups is about same price as dhl and EMS is cheaper, why they would send your via ups, did you request it urgently or somthing? As I know my ems delivery is taking ages in shipping due to christmas.
