THANK YOU BREXIT!
I bought the lamps from Jim for the proposed 20 UKP, and paid 9 UKP extra for postage.
The Belgian post just delivered the package, and I had to pay 33.62 euro extra, being 24 Euro 'handling charges' and the rest VAT over the pack value plus the postage (so on the postage one pays VAT in the UK and again in Belgium!!!!!!!)
So this is a never again experience!
The lady in the post said that this is done to protect and stimulate buying local...I then asked her where to buy some 1953 Lancia appia light lenses....but that she could'nt tell.
