Hi there, Many thanks for your feedback. I am sorry you feel dissatisfied. I can see you have processed one shipment through our services from our UK warehouse so far. Our shipping rates are reviewed each year, with each of the courier services, to make them as cost effective as possible based on the volume of packages that we receive and we do also apply our service charge to the overall shipping prices, with the couriers, as a percentage. Please be aware that it is a service that you are paying for through our company as well as shipping. All shipments are dispatched through our services as 'Delivered Duty Unpaid' with all the couriers. We don't allow local duties and taxes to be paid in advance, within the shipping costs, through our company, because we do not yet have the approved accreditation to carry out the customs clearance, through our services, and calculate the duties for the goods in advance. It is the courier agencies, such as Fed Ex, DHL and UPS, who have and use their own customs clearance departments to calculate the import taxes and duties owing for our customers shipments and the additional import duties and taxes owing for a shipment to the destination country would be charged as a separate fee by the relevant courier service prior to delivery. Unfortunately, local import duties and VAT calculated by your local customs department and the couriers is beyond our control and any discrepancies in the total costs cannot be reimbursed by us through our service. We are required to show the total shipping costs paid on the commercial invoice. All courier services we use clear shipments through their own customs clearance departments, the clearance team need to be able to access the original shipping price paid to calculate the taxes against and to ensure the couriers do not use default shipping costs. We can remove the courier shipping costs from the commercial invoices by request from our customers, and this option can also be amended yourself by going to your 'Profile' section and 'Addresses'. When you click into your 'Shipping Addresses' there is a check box option at the bottom 'Include shipping price on commercial invoice'. However, removing this option may mean the couriers will use a default shipping price to calculate the duties and taxes owing which usually calculates higher in value than the actual shipping costs paid. Please be aware that as of 1st July 2021 the import VAT free buffer for shipments into the EU with a total declared value of £15.00/€22 or less no longer applies and all imports are now subject to EU VAT. Local duties and taxes are calculated from the commercial declared value of the goods in the shipment and also on the freight costs. If you do have a discrepancy in relation to the total calculation of the import duties and taxes by for your shipment this would need to be resolved from destination with DHL. I hope the information I have provided to you is useful, we hope this issue does not deter you from using our services again in the future and that you will reconsider your current rating of our service. Please do let me know if you have any more questions or concerns. Kind Regards Hayley
