I have never used CD Wow before and have seen that they do Alias Season 2 for just under £25 which is £10 cheaper than any other place. My question is about custom charges as anything over £18 is subject to custom charges, some get away with out paying while others dont. So what is the experience from people here with items over £18 ? Did you get the custom charge or not? I think that custom charges are 4% of the item then add VAT(17.5% to the total cost of the item, p+p and duty) plus another £4 or so in collection charges.
Also do CD Wow ship everything from Hong Kong? As I see they have an Office in England.

I recently (since they bought in these charges) bought something from them costing £18.99, and... Nope. Didn't get charged an extra penny!
I think it's only by the bad luck of the hat you'll get charged any extra. I think it's only when they find a 'strange-looking' parcel coming through that they feel they need to check it, or whatever happens...
So, just be careful what you order. ;)
The bigger the cost of an item you're looking to buy, the greater chunk of change you would have to fork-over if you are charged extra.

I bought some stuff from them, and if I remember rightly, it was shipped from Hong Kong. However, there were no issues and I just paid the price that was on the website, with no charges of any sort.
I think CD WOW mark them down as gifts.
I have some stuff coming from Hong Kong via DHL - they should avoid the Parcelfarce Clearance Fee for sure. Might still have to pay VAT though...
Hope not.

Ive never had to pay customs charges ever and Ive ordered box sets and stuff like that.

Not worth it then, as its only £10 cheaper and with that sort of charge it will push it up past £35.

In my experience Customs = 17.5% + £8.50 parcelforce clearance fee.
