<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 4860352, member: 31620&quot;]It ahppens on over 10% of coins I have bought from the US. It is a real pain on low value coins. Anything over £15&nbsp; (less that $20 at todays rates) is chargable. No big deal at 20% you would think but the handling charge is £8 (over $10). </p><p><br /></p><p>When I look at buyng from the US I have to cater for factors. There was a coin that I was interested in at $100. The seller only affered pre-cleared import duty (which is now a common theme with several sellers)&nbsp; so that added $20. He wanted just under $40 for shipping. This would mean that the coin would come in at $160 and made it unpalatable.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I had bought something similar and it had been charged at the post office here then it would have come in at $170.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am struggling to buy much from the US.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
