Successful collaboration for Bricklink’s AFOL Designer Program with The LEGO Group. - The LEGO Story by BrickJonas sold over 1,400 copies during the pre-order stage. The submission features a small model (Designer’s Drawers) I designed, and the packaging features The LEGO Group’s 60th anniversary branding.
I’m thrilled discover that I’ve contributed to another success story for an individual. It’s been a pleasant experience collaborating with BrickJonas on his successful project for AFOL Designer Program hosted by Bricklink, with The LEGO Group.
I was fortunate enough not to pay anything else besides the cost of the item itself, arrived yesterday.
@Adzbadboy, sorry to break the bad news :-(
It did cross my mind but I took the view that you can't escape paying import duty and VAT so it would catch up with you at some point.
Thanks, this is helpful. I was having trouble interpreting the form which isn't the clearest of documents. I'm going to attempt to claim a partial refund from HMRC.
Thanks, and have just caught up on BL. I hadn't realised this was such a debacle!
Anyone in UK who thinks they have overpaid in Duty/VAT can attempt to claim a refund from HMRC using this form:

If anyone is interested, I'm selling a used Science Tower on eBay, and it's currently less than MSRP. It ends in a few hours. I meant to have the auction end on the weekend, but forgot, last Monday (a holiday in the US) that it was Monday, not Sunday (when I set the auction to end in a week). So someone might get a good deal since it's ending in the middle of a work day (very little data on how the sets are selling used - I haven't seen ANY other than mine). I only ship to the US, though.

I decided to pay FedEx then try to claim the wrongly charged amount back from HMRC, which I was successful with.
