Good morning everyone. I’d like to buy a shirt from a private English seller (something I used to do often before Brexit, then I stopped because prices skyrocketed due to taxes and customs fees).Shipping to Italy would be via Royal Mail International Standard (which isn’t trackable but at least costs “only” 11 euros and in the past, touch wood, I’ve never had any problems). The real doubt, though, is whether, in addition to the VAT already calculated in the order total, I’ll also have to pay customs clearance and/or the extra postal service fee. I’ve read that this happened to some users but not to others... And I don’t understand why.Simulating the purchase, before proceeding to payment, below the total to be paid it says “VAT added to prices based on the delivery address. No additional customs charges will apply.”I therefore wanted to ask whether it’s really like that or whether there’s still the risk of having to give the postman more money to get the parcel.Thanks everyone and sorry for the hassle.
