I doubt the No Duty, No VAT is correct and they have some interesting Neg and Neutral feedback.

4% duty on price of goods and shipping.
Then 15% vat on the total of the above.

Plus £10 to £15 fee for dealing with the duty by the carrier this end.

So total is £155 turbo + £20 shipping

Duty and VAt and fee about another £50.
