    I don't know about the rest but I picked the EU warehouse but the damn thing is still coming from China. Don't know if it'll be redistributed from EU or not
    Did you get the letter?
    I think €26.10 is the minimum allowed which is €6. A bit crazy that they are going after it, but I guess it all adds up.
    I would also like to know of the people getting the letter, did any choose EU?

    If you're going to pay, remember that these lads don't have change so if the charge is €16.06 have the exact amount. No chance of you getting change from a €20 for instance.

    I got the letter, i don't remember selecting EU so I probably didn't. If there was an option to select either one i would have selected EU but if it was something hidden then I wouldn't have

    I'm going to pay whatever is owed.

    I'm not seeing any 'purchase invoice' linked to the order, what are people using as proof of purchase?

    I just used the snipping tool on the screen and pdf'd that and sent it in.

    Just got a message:

    Kind regards,
    xxxxx.

    Lads the Mi Stick is currently on Honorbuy with 2 day shipping from their EU warehouse. They are listed at €14.61 (was €34.39). I only bought one last weekend for €46 with shipping.

    The €46 from last week was for 1 with shipping, the shipping only adds on an extra €2 per device.

    I just bought 4 of them for €76.

    Same as everyone else, letter from An post.

    Whats the legality of them charging 10 euro?
    Seems like post from China is being targetted

    Customs clearance fee is standard.
    It applies to all imports outside EU, so not China specific.

    Most couriers will charge you a min of €15

    Might be worth a punt at $10, but it has definitely not gone unnoticed how many times these have dropped in price and are even being given away for free with some purchases of Xiaomi phones. They are obviously getting rid to launch the 4K version. But it could also be that these things won't play anything decent quality for any length of time.

    Same here. I sent them an invoice for 30.50 dollars which worked out at 25.79 euro. So the vat should have been less than 6 euro. But that have told me the vat is 6.05

    Got an email this morning saying they mispriced it and it should have been $34.99.

    Needless to say I've asked them to cancel and refund.

    You reckon it's possible to get your money back if it's returned to sender. Really not pushed to pay out extra to get it. Bought it just to check it out but really don't need it

    No you won't get money back if you reject it.

    There is a negligible amount up to €26 or €6 vat.

    I think it is up to their discretion whether or not they want to go after it if it is only slightly above the €26 or €6 vat.

    NOTE: Until 1st January 2021, no import VAT is due to be paid for goods with a customs value below €22 imported into Ireland. This exemption is abolished as of 1st January 2021. Thus, from 1st January 2021, all goods entering the EU will be subject to VAT irrespective of their value.
    If the VAT payable is €6 or less it will not be collected. No similar rule applies in the case of Customs Duty or Excise Duty.

    They will likely be destroyed, and not sent back.
