It sounds like a good price
http://www.enduroforkseals.com/id20.html
Although they are fantastic seals, I won't be ordering from them again;
£14.94 Fork seals
£27.01 Shipping & Handling, priority from USA
£7.82 vat
£13.50 Parcel Farce handling charge.
I've just paid the charges over the phone, the seals will be with me tomorrow.
I'm going to dispute the vat with HMRC, if only so I can vent my spleen at someone.
If I don't get any joy from them, I'll smuggle some Golden Virginia back with me when we go on holiday later this year and sell off to my workmates in an act of Karma
£40 odd in goods, packing and post x20% = £8 ish. There's no case to argue. The parcelforce fee is extortionate though. Next time, have them sent via USPS 1st class, which is quicker (3-4 days), cheaper (less than $10) and are sent via the post office which only charges £8 handling fee IF, and only if, duty is payable.
We've all done it.
It's cheaper & easier to order from the UK by the look of it
