Quote - I'm back in the Uk for a few weeks, and Poser 8 is now installed and running on my laptop, so a thumbs up for Purplus.

Cost - $39.99 for Poser 8, plus $10 USPS shipping.

But apparently when the package was delivered to the UK address my friend was asked to pay an extra GBP13.18 (GBP5.18 VAT plus GBP8.00 'Royal Mail International Handling Fee'). Don't you just hate it when that happens?

So TOTAL cost now around $72.

A great big "Boo! Hiss!" to UK customs and Royal Mail.

 

You could have known that before, I always check the customs website before ordering. If you order something over a certain amount and sent it to a European address, you're going to pay VAT and custom charges. That has always been so, but recently the lowered the amount you're allowed to order tax free. Main land europe it's around €22, if you have bought something above that amount, you'll pay VAT and fees. I think it's around the same amount for the UK. Those are European regulations and yes they do suck, I think an even greater big "Boo! Hiss!" should go to the European Union, which makes life expensive with all their money hoarding rules and regulations.

 

with all the new European commerce laws we all end up paying. Until last year I was happy ordering items from outside the EU and not paying anything extra. With the new rules and regulations, this year I suddenly am paying VAT and fees as well, even on stuff I never paid it before.

 

At least you did get your package and can enjoy something new now, have fun with Poser 8, it sure is a step up from P6!
