Unless from the US, in which case because the US postal service hands over to the UK postal service you get screwed every time. Anything to do with parcel force, royal mail, and so on is basically the remnants of a socialist gov run system, they charge VAT and rip you off by charging a huge amount for "collecting from customs" and then they dont actually deliver, they make you pay first while holding your parcel hostage for another week or two. Then they ring the bell and before you can answer the door, they are gone leaving a number you can call to collect it yourself. Because thats easier for them. Never use them for anything. The sooner they go bust the better.
