Is it possible to order from Banggood and pay no customs ?

[jevity319]

I want to buy a new tablet. After researching online, I have reached the conclusion that

Banggood is one of the most reliable chinese vendors. However I am still not sure how their

“Priority Direct Mail” works in regard to skipping customs fees. I know that if you buy directly from their EU warehouse,

there is no extra fees like VAT,customs and handling fees, but I don’t know if the same applies to “Priority Direct Mail”.

I would like to hear your experiences, and I would especially be grateful to hear from someone living in and ordering from Denmark :O)

Hi there, yes it works for me. At least in Spain where I am. I used Banggood most of the time and GearBest the priority direct shipments come via royalmail Huib for the UK and PostNL for me.

Since it first goes to Amsterdam, then later onto Madrid and my address I skip paying the dreaded 21% of the invoice total and 15 euro doc fee from DHL which I often have to use to get tablets quickly for my videos and reviews. It’s a killer as a couple of times people have declared the full amount and I end up have to pay 37 euros for a 100 euro tablet… Ouch!

You save on the tax but it takes a good 10-15 days to arrive.

Thank you for responding so quickly.

Let me see if I understand this correctly.

When I pay for “Priority Direct Mail”, it is almost like buying from a Chinese vendor’s EU warehouse.

What I mean is that the package travels from China to Europe, but instead of just sitting in a warehouse in Europe,

it is being delivered to the EU warehouse (in Amsterdam) and then shipped again to the buyers address ?

Hello. my country never has an option for priority direct mail. is there any other way to get a tablet without paying customs?

for example if i use PostNL or registered airmail could it work?

Yes, I was wondering this myself? I am thinking about ordering the teclast f15 but I don’t want to be hit with UK customs fees.
