Had my first real life #Brexit experience today! I was notified that an article of clothing I ordered in the UK from a French brand is being held until I pay import duties amounting to ~30% of the item's value.
Update: after more texts/emails from the courier asking me to pay import duties on my parcel, I contacted the retailer to advise them I was sending it back. An exhausted-sounding lady on the phone told me they had fielded 400 calls today alone from frustrated British customers.
It is important to reiterate here that the order was placed on the British website of a French fashion brand. The prices are all listed in GPB.
