Good for you - I can tell you it is mighty fun, and you'll not regret whatever you got tricked into paying UPS.
I read that whole thread over again, and it seems that it is UPS following the strict letter of UK law, which allows them to collect a "brokerage" fee, a fee for collecting the import duty or something, and it is bigger than the duty, because nothing stops them. UPS are scamming customers in the UK. Apparently Fedex does not do this.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
