Indeed DHL does exchange some items with Parcelforce from what I understand. I've ordered things and these have been initially dispatched to DHL yet delivered by Parcelforce. I don't know how common this is though.

I've had 2 attempts at buying a givi touring screen for tmax from Italy 2 different sellers have cancelled order and refunded .Now trying Amazon just ordered bit more expensive but see how that goes .Planing 4 week tour next March was going this October but decided to wait for my booster jab plus covid testing is easing bit by bit .
It's coming from Italian supplier thro Amazon if it comes .

Will put tmax in for mot service and valve check in new year .

Just got a Givi screen for SH300 from Amazon from company called TradeINN, no problems, took about 10 days and was sourced from Italy

I'm hoping Amazon automatically handle any UK vat see what happens

I think amazon are unlikely to do anything that would impact their profits. But you never know.

Seemed to do so with my order, hope its same for you.

If the price is under £135 then the vat is paid by the european vendor- above that the vat is collected by the courier plus an admin fee

I found another Italian vendor selling the item i required - they used UPS parcels and it reached me within a week

Tmax screen finally dispatched 12 days after order was always estimated 19th to 26th October for delivery .Just waiting for day 2 test relaxing to Cheaper test and booking ferry to Spain . Wife wants to get rid of me for couple of weeks lol .I don't want to get wet on way to Portsmouth lol

I had ordered from easyparts EU. while they are above goparts in that they answer emails (goparts has no support),
they dont offer shipping other than UPS and I got raped with buying the cvt belt with massive fees. around $250 .last time. no thanks.

im ordering now from PARTSSS.com very happy! they have a whatsapp option and answer all questions and help out. HUGE PLUS!!

they give the option to send via regular registered spain mail. that way I only pay vat and not greedy extra fees ups/dhl/fedex add on top just to rip you off.

im psyched.
