Ordered some parts from USA ,, I have ordered from Corsair before They send USPS
total bill was $228 or about £160 including postage,, bits arrived in UK last week and I was expecting to pay Duty of about £45 including handling charge but Royal Mail office have left a note yesterday saying that duty and handling charge is £198 ???? but I cant get the items as sorting office is closed due to Covid and there is a £3 a day storage charge ,so the bill is rising daily ,, the parts weigh 375 gm

something very wrong here ??? phoned the Post office but they say all charges are correct ,, which is a lie .. not sure what to do ??? or who to complain to,,, never had a problem like this
