Why go back to buying gold, You can buy silver coins on this forum for less than the silver to go price, and have them delivered in a day or so.

Since my last post I’ve been having a look around this forum. Seems like a great resource I wish I’d found sooner!

When Americans buy from the royal mint don’t they buy without the U.K. vat.    So when we buy from Europe shouldn’t we be able to buy tax free from Europe then pay vat when imported?

Yes that is what happens now. We buy tax free from Europe, and pay HMRC the 20% VAT on arrival into the UK.

Were you expecting not to get charges? It's just a fact of life now

Yeah it’s my fault, would have expected a note on the silver-to-go site but I should have checked myself. Will just write it off as a £100 mistake and go back to buying gold! 
 

@HillWalkerDundee 48.11% of us can still complain! I’m not sure your presumption about people knowing what they were voting for is correct, but I have a feeling that’s your point! 
 

Happy New Year all. 

Hello all.

I recently bought a tube of 20 1oz coins from silver-to-go. UPS have informed that import charges will be £100. Silver-to-go have said that if I refuse the package, they would buy the coins back at spot price (costing roughly £100).
