Ordering from a foreign country?

[PinkSwoon]

Evening everyone!

To cut a long story short, I've found a beautiful pair of boots I want from Casa De La Botas, trouble is they are based in Argentina. The boots are stunning (Palermo model if anyone is as nosey as I am), on the site it states they are '500 Arg' which I assume means Argentinian Peso which only converts to £90! Part of me thinks BARGAIN! but I'm not sure, are goods in Argentina not taxed much? Would it cost me a lot to have them shipped over? Can you sense anything genuinely dodgy?

Kinds Regards & TIA!

Try asking "PapaFrita" - she's in Argentina at the mo and may know the company and/or about shipping to UK....

You will probably have to pay import tax when they arrive in this country.

You will be required to pay import duty on their arrival in the UK. The import duty will be collected by Royal mail & they charge around £12 themselves as a fee for collecting the tax for the government. I got stung this way when I bought a pair of Levis from the US.

If you consider that the boots are such a bargain then the addition of import tax shouldn't be too much of an issue.

Thankyou everyone, you've been a great help!

Ooooooo!! To be honest, the boots are so cheaply priced that even with shipping and import tax, they will still be a bargain. I may order a pair myself when I get paid!!
