Title: Taxed for CC keycaps from EK.
Post by: Rendom on Sun, 30 December 2012, 07:48:01: I'm not sure if I post this in a right area but as the topic said, I received candy corn skull topre keycap last week from EK and asked to pay tax from Royal Mail (UK based courier service I perhaps) which is about 12gbp (apprx. $19). Has anyone encounter this or just me? Just find the tax expensive.
