Has anyone on here bought anything online and found that on arrival
you have to pay the VAT - so you think you are getting something for ?240 but in fact you then have to pay the extra VAT on arrival at your door?
A site I'm using offers PRICE MATCH promise and I've found a camera that much cheaper elsewhere so I rang them and they claim the other site will charge VAT at my door....can they do this?
