This fee literally translates to "ELTA fee for customs clearance" but I'm not sure if it is considered import tax or something else.
I am sorry if it wasn't obvious but this came with our national post (The Greek National Post is called ELTA). There isn't any private company involved.
As you...
As a follow-up to our conversation I decided to place a small order on Base.com to check their delivery system.
I bought Cowboy Bebop - The Movie on Blu-Ray for £6.49

The package arrived today. Thankfully it took...
Still no luck. I still can't buy 99% of all Blu-Ray anime releases from Amazon UK.
I managed to get a reply from Anime Ltd / All The Anime but it seems they can't do anything about it although they are aware of the issue. Here's the reply I got:
"Thanks for getting in touch. We're certainly...
Unfortunately I can't get a response from Mr. Andrew and I haven't got any replies to my emails to Anime Ltd either.
As for my contact with Amazon UK it has reached a point where they don't even read my emails and just respond with pre-constructed messages detailing completely irrelevant...
Unfortunately I can't get a reply from Anime Limited through their contact form.
How exactly can I contact Andrew?
Do you happen to have their email address?
I have also looked into forwarding services from the UK and I contacted at least 15 companies asking for information and my advise is to stay away unless you are a business dealing monthly and in bulk. And not only for their enormous shipping costs that start from the first item like you already...
Again, the following are from my experience with literally tens of packages from the UK and my consultations with various government and independent local agencies here in Greece.
IOSS is a process that only changes the recipient of the VAT in an online transaction. VAT is collected by the...
I don't know how to contact the Funimation UK retail (not digital) support department so if anyone has an email it would really help me.
But I have contacted both Anime-On-Line and Amazon UK and today I got the following answers.
Anime-On-Line replied and I quote:
"We are aware of the European...
A VPN doesn't change your delivery address. We are talking about physical products. When you login to an Amazon account with a delivery address inside Europe Amazon doesn't even allow you to put the items in your wish list,
Unfortunately this is not true (at least where I live). "Duties" in...
I tried all the links you posted and I only get the option for marketplace sellers, not Amazon itself.
And they are more expensive too.
For example the Kakegurui Blu-Ray is only being sold for €74.99 from a French seller (without calculating the shipping costs). That's a huge difference from...
In my country there is a 6% VAT on books and everything passes through customs. And in my case customs "forget" about it in 100% of the cases and charge the normal 24% VAT.
The same problem exists with Manga/Funimation releases too so this can't be all Anime-On-Line's fault.
For example I can't buy Bungo Stray Dogs, No Guns Life etc.
As for the alternatives that you kindly suggested to me I am afraid they won't work and I explain:
Zavvi dispatches from a...
You are right about Kakegurui.
And also for the Is the Order a Rabbit? you are right too. It is available.
But neither part 1 nor part 2 of the Girls und Panzer das Finale is available to me. I only get marketplace options and I believe those are for the US version too.
Actually I can't order MVM Blu-Rays either.
For example the Kakegurui Season 1 Collector's Edition Blu-Ray (ASIN : B09PMFVD6Q).
I got price 48.40 euro and it says:
Dispatches from mvm_entertainment
Sold by mvm_entertainment
Which means that Amazon will act only a third party and MVM as a...
I may be a bit out of topic but please bear with me.
It's been more than a year since Amazon UK apparently stopped selling anime Blu-Ray and DVD to all European countries (obviously outside the UK) regardless of them belonging to the European Union or not. When your account delivery address is...
