    Lads has anyone here ever bought anything in from the states for their own personal use and not for resale? I'm thinkin of ordering around €250.00 worth of nutritional stuff off the 'net because its so cheap with the euro being stronger than the dollar and all that but I'm scared that the package I'll receive which will be about 11kg in weight will be slapped with customs duties by our rip off government. Is this the norm or do they let stuff like this just come through. If not has anyone any idea what you would pay on it? Cant pinpoint it on revenue.ie. Damn government.

    Postage will be huge on a package that size. The bigger the package the more likely you are to get caught for duty. You pay duty and vat on the value of the package and the shipping costs. If you package is worth 250 and shipping is say 80, tax and duty might add close to another 100 euro on top. Don't order protein, or anything bulky. Stick to vitamins , fat burners etc.
