Dear All,
    Wonder if anyone coult take the trouble to comment on the following:

As a novice UK builder I placed a relatively modest order with Aircraft Spruce
for some a/c building materials

Total Value of order - $67.90

Freight charge by the supplier $43

Delivery via UPS - additional charge 28.95 which consisted of:
16.48 taxes
2.47 duties
10 UPS admin fee.


I expected to pay roughly  $ for .

Are the above charges out of the ordinary?

Any advice re future ordering of goods from abroad would be appreciated.
