Don't know why its crazy you are importing goods from a non EU country. That's how it works. VAT and duty to be paid.

What is crazy is that the £17 you're being charged by the courier. My guess is £12-15 of that cost is the fee the courier is charging you for collecting the payment for the government!

Having said that...it is still cheap right?

Thats great news was that the RunGrace unit that went on Sale priced at £14? I suppose certain goods under the £15 threshold works out nicely.

Yes the Rungrace one, I could not wait for Black Friday sales and jumped at £48. Still happy, think LITB buy these in for £14 and for import purpose that is the value, maybe im just guessing.

I reckon we have been doing well these past few weeks in grabbing a bargain, thanks to the lovely friendly people across the water. Well done Lightinthebox.com unbelievable prices the UK retailers could never compete with such competition.

And well done, Dallas, for enabling those of us who couldn't justify the cost of a full price unit to enjoy having one.

What no DD's on today?

I've had time to check through the day, and not seen one go up at all as yet.

As its BLACK FRIDAY tomorrow, maybe, just maybe... LITB will be giving them away to the first 20 customers.
