How much are the items worth?

If under (IIRC) £135, they need to learn to do the VAT and paperwork.

If over, the VAT is your problem, they just sell it to you and you deal with the taxes.

 

UK customs are pretty much letting everything through, as long as it's correctly identified on the form at the moment, so I do not understand why they're having issues.

 

If it's just the volume of new forms they need to fill out, then maybe they need to talk to some of the UK resellers and set them up as authorised resellers, so they can do it in bulk.

 

If you're really desperate for parts, you could find a friend in EU/UK and ask for it to be delivered to them, then have it posted with the correct paperwork.

 

The process is here and once you get used to it, it's not any where near as bad as people make out:

Sadly, I think some companies are being caught by the predictions of doom on both side of the water and restricting business when they don't really need to.

I'm still waiting on a 3-months old delivery from aliexpress - less than 10 squid - and no available tracking information.

 

I had a delivery from Aliexpress last month ok. (January ).

Currys told me the other day when they delivered a tumble dryer that they're having problems getting stock imported.

SuperSkoda says its GLS having the problem. 

From the way it was said, its from their end. 🤔
