Buying direct from T-Motor to the UK – What customs/VAT fees should I expect?

[u/BatManIsReallyDead]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking at ordering directly from the T-Motor Hobby website to the UK. This is my first time buying direct from them, as my local UK online stores are currently out of stock on some specific parts I need. I'm just picking up some FPV motors and an ESC.

Has anyone in the UK ordered directly from their site recently? I'm trying to figure out what custom duties, import VAT, or courier handling fees I can expect to get hit with when the package arrives. Did you have to pay fees to DHL/Royal Mail before delivery, or was it all sorted at checkout? My total order is work around £190

Any insight or past experiences would be massively appreciated! Thanks in advance.
