@goosehd no, I get that. but I was thinking more from a logistical perspective, as why would that happen. I believe one of the vat officers told me something about when shipping, they could select something to do with VAT charges on the buyers end..

I’ll stick with IHUK from now on. Just got a belt from IHG and while it’s a lovely belt I ended up paying for delivery, duties, taxes and obviously exchange rates. A 189 euro belt cost me over 500 Canadian dollars. Good thing I like the belt, but I’m sticking with IHUK.

I think it’s a bit unfair.. it’s more a EU or non EU thing.. if we turn the tables.. if i order something out of US or any other Non EU country i have to pay taxes.. 21% taxes and fee rate between 6 till 12% depends on the original price. Also @Iron-Heart-Germany refers to custom duties on there site like other retailers do as well. Some companies handle these things for us like IHUK or some other retailers but this is costing them a lot of money if i’m not mistaken. Still a bummer when this happens but it’s more a flaw in the whole system but that’s just my 2 cents.

@wielerj Just be glad it fit - mine didn't, and it's been tracking the globe since December.

@Heavy_blue I don't mind paying import taxes, but not double taxation. another case was ordering motorcycle parts from moto gadget in Germany and I wasn't charged any taxes on my end.
can't speak for all countries but my moto gadget invoice had the breakdown of item value plus eu tax paid. so I'm not sure if that was the mitigating factor in not double taxing

IH has a policy that sets a minimum price, so you should be paying the same price regardless of which retailer you buy from and which currency they use. Most credit cards charge a 1% currency conversion fee, which is pretty much nothing.
IH UK offers free shipping on orders over $200 and IH Germany offers free shipping on orders over 200 Euros, so that's almost the same as well.
IH UK only covers import duties and taxes for shipments to the EU. Does the UK-Canada trade agreement cover clothing? Otherwise, from the point of view of the Canadians customs, it shouldn't matter if your product originated in the UK or EU.
Perhaps you just got unlucky with this shipment?

@indigostiff Yes, quite a long journey for a belt. You can always count on the US mail and German customs.... Well, I will reply to the email you sent me yesterday eve. I don't think the forum is the best place to handle returns. Also, I offered you some time ago that we would send you a UPS return label at our expense when the belt is returned to you, maybe you can remember that.
Anyway, please try to communicate with me about your return by email as other customers do. Thank you very much. -
