Buying furniture at US auction and shipping to UK?
Discussion
I have bought furniture from china.
Shipping is the killer. You can get a price to a U.K. port for nothing but then you get significant handling fees in the U.K. you can’t do anything about.
You need a quote for DDP - delivered ( to your door ) Duty Paid.
Vat is not duty but some ddp includes vat some not. I always ask for ddp including the vat.
At that point you know your landed cost is the goods plus ddp. The only thing that makes is viable is volume.
