So today being Cyber Monday I decided to buy another SSD though this time a SANDISK 240gb model and a new keyboard/mouse mat. Then of course I thought I;d finally grab that 16gb DDR3 RAM kit I've been wanting and I check out Newegg UK to see if I can find one, I find a kit for £53 and then go to checkout and this is what happens:

Seriously what is with VAT and the shipping costs for two tiny sticks of RAM?. I live on the Isle of Man which is very much a part of the United Kingdom and isn't that much different. I also checked amazon to find the same kit going for £76 and that's without VAT charges, why does it feel like I'm entering a period where I'm facing Russian like prices?.

The problem is not the VAT (in the UK it's 20%, not 34%), it's the "& Duty" part that adds a lot.

And the shipping part... well, you live in another island .



Please excuse my bad English.
