Hi people.

There's a set of steel 14" rims in Bassenge and I need them in UK.

Seller says a courier and import duty etc to much of a faff/cost.

Anyone coming back from Belgium anytime soon?

I know that both DHL and GLS operate an "all costs paid" service (others may as well). Under this system, the seller can pay all the costs (including any customs costs) so that the delivery happens just the same as pre-Brexit. Obviously you would have to get the seller to do this and pay them the costs.

It's not as easy as it used to be but it can be done and is probably still the cheapest option.

The last time I sent an item to the UK I used FedEx, all very straightforward and reasonably cheap collected and delivered to the UK address within three days.
