Hi guys
Been tracking my first delivery from ringside, and it has had customs charges and is now on its way to the delivery hub to come to me
Based on experience how much do you think the charges will be?
I have ordered $130 of goods excluding postage (I think customs is based on value)

I'd love to know the outcome of this. I've been wanting to buy a few items from them but assumed we'd have some sort of customs charges to pay so it didn't make sense, economically.

It just depend of your country. For France i have to pay 20% of total value of the items plus some kind of customs fees.

Customs charges are standard and dont relate to Ringside or any seller. It's based on the origin of the shipment and the value declared/type of item.
Once Royal Mail get their dirty hands on the parcel and add their "handling fee" you're probably looking at about £40 in charges. I could be wrong and you might get lucky based on what's been declared. Let us know how you get on.

Based on experience I would read the thousands of messages on it......:-p
Goods + Postage = Total.
(Total x 0.20) equals VAT.
Fee = VAT + £8 postage.
Assume this will be the cost, then you can't be shocked when you get the bill.
And if you don't get one. Happy days!!!

I got NECA SDCC Newt from America and customs were £16 for one small, light figure. I've got full waves of diamond select figures from America (in HUGE packaging) with no charges. Postman said you get charged if the person posting the item declares it value on the front. This seller declared Newt as $80 which was what I paid. |

I've never been hit with a customs fee here in Australia. Had figures, belts and everything too. Maybe I'm just very lucky  |

You're looking at around £25 customs plus whatever Royal Mail/Parcel Force add on for handling.

Got delivered today - really impressed
Packaged really well - I know there is a conversation on here about what MOC is and trust me these are mint as can be! Packaged perfectly
Also got a few of the ringside items like their tlc set and the casket match set - both awesome quality
Took me a while to bite the bullet and use ringside but I'll deffo use them again!
