Re:
I'm sure it has its proponents but it's sh1te in my experience. Incredibly slow, very expensive for the std of service and not really secure for high value items. Still waiting now over a month for some brakes and almost had a Fat frame stolen UK end. Best to ask the seller to deal direct and use USPS.

I bought something and it gave a price for global shipping, I think it
covered the vat, shipping and charges. I persuaded the bloke to go the
post office and post it directly to me.

I've used the Global Shipping Programme many time for items from the USA, without any issues. It should work out cheaper, as Royal Mail don't get to add their handling fee for items identified as attracting duties.
In the past items from the USA would slip through without the duty being picked up. Royal Mail must have tightened the procedures; nothing gets past now, so GSP is a good idea.

It may be good from outside EU, but some use it (without knowing better) within Europe, and it's shite!
I bought a sub 250g item, seller posts it to E-Bay warehouse or whatever it is, they slap a sticker on it, charge £12 and send it on. A total rip-off.
