I ordered a tumble dryer part costing €34.23 from https://www.buy-spares.ie/ AN IRISH COMPANY. (well at least an Irish website).
I then received a customs declaration anpost email….
This adds approximately 33% to the cost of this item. I note anpost make a nice little moneyspinner out of this as well!!
I assume the product was sent from overseas even though it is an Irish company. Should this company not warn you about these excess charges? Should these charges apply if it is an Irish company?
