So even if the customs and brokerage fees were included in the shipping charges, it was all up front and I knew waht to expect--No surprises, no additional charges or fees.
I am happy with the Kiltstore's policy as I have imported both leather and tools previously from England and Germany respectively and had to get custom brokers involved and so forth.
This was easy. If I was going to order another kilt, I'd deal with the same outfit.
How recent was this experience? If in thelast month and it was a kilt I give you my blood oath that FEDEX will be sending you a customs bill, plus a $25 fee for processing a "Formal Entry" through customs. the amount of duty will depend on what you bought, but if it was a kilt, you WILL get a bill.
