Shipping?!

Hey guys, I was wondering about how much Volks shipping costs? I live in the UK, and I will be buying a DD2 head, a body stocking, eyes and a normal body. Also, I'm ordering off other sites (leekeworld, dollmore, cotindoll) and i'm VERY confused on shipping, I can't find the prices of shipping anywhere! Help please? I have only about 30 pounds left of dollfie money! D:
volks charge set amounts ... i duno about bodies .. but i know for clothes .. and small stuff .. even 1 set of clothes will cost 2500 yen ... bodies might be 5000 ... not sure
be prepared to by assulted by custom charges, can u imagine how much custom u have to pay for a body - 20% VAT for body plus VAT on the shipping, 5% toy import traffic and a one off £10 handling charge. i was hit with £40 custom today.
Shipping cost for my Mari dollfie which I ordered through volks international came to roughly 60 pounds not including taxes.
and it's the customs tax that'll kill ya!
I remember having to pay something in the region of £60 for my Knight of Gold kit, which was only 25,000 yen. Significantly less than a dollfie!
I think it came to £137 in total, which I think is the most tax I've ever had on a single package. But.. it was worth it for Mari!
... I don' think I could ever justify that for anything, let alone a doll. The mind boggles.
Well.. to me it was worth it!
Haha. Sorry if that came off as a little harsh. But it looks like the dollfies have their claws pretty deep in you.
I'm still fighting the good fight against their tyranny!
Hhehe no worries mate :)
:O this isn't very helpful, but if you do order from volks would it be possible for me to order a bodystocking with your order aswell? as it would make it alot cheaper for me :) (i'd pay my share of the shipping ofc, and then the shipping from you to me) x
That'd be cheaper for us I suppose, what county do You live in I live in Kent.
i live on the isle of wight (it costs the same to post here as it does to everywhere else in england)
Ooohhh, I might, but I have a very tight budget, if you wait until March I can get some in for my birthday ^^;
okay :) my email address is beth_hill@hotmail.com, feel free to contact me nearer your birthday, i should have two daughters by then (hopefully) so i'll probably order more then than what i would now just for my one girl ^___^
Well I ordered a bunch of stuff off them recently to uk they charged me 4000 yen for it... To be fair there is a he'll of alot of stuff I ordered :p
Volks shipping isn't that much, as above it's the customs charges that hurt. I just had £81 customs fee for a 45,318 yen order. Postage was 4935 yen (£40 for EMS postage is good). As you can see customs fees were double the postage.
Oh y goodness, I dunno what to Do D: Will the other websites be that bad?
Anyone know what Shipping will be for a head, two body stockings, eyes and a normal body? I think I might save about 40 pounds, just in case
