Purchasing from Railtec Transfers - are they subject to VAT?

[kevin_gal]

I just ordered a set of Craven transfers and I expect they will be delivered in a small packet/envelope, but was wondering if small packets like these get stopped by Customs?  Should I check with Railtec that there is a CN22 form attached?

He attaches one when sending to Germany anyway.

OK, thanks Phil.  Will probably be attached to my order also then.

The 'Please do not Bend' envelopes he uses have not been subject to Customs charges for me anyway and he does have the customs sticker on them.

That's good news.  Paying VAT plus the An Post handling of charge on some transfers that cost less than a tenner is a bit hard to take.

They come in hard envelopes and are a quality product at an excellent price. Huge fan here.

Got them today, yes they look excellent quality and no customs issues. However, with my eyesight the way it is at the moment I was struggling to see some of them clearly under my magnified ring lamp.  Applying them may be challenge for me, hope my opticians appt next Saturday will get things sorted

Should have gone to Specksavers

Specsavers are probably no worse than some of the charlatans posing as opticians that I have visited. Hopefully the guy I am going to next Saturday will get me sorted.

Ordered on Saturday, arrived this morning
Items were presumably in stock, hence the quick turnaround
