What i do in order to cut out any customs fees is politely ask the sender to declare the value at half its retail amount,describe as gift and send any invoices seperately,Not everyone will do it,but so far i have had 100% success rate.The downside of course is your parcel if it goes missing will be isured at its declared value.It is a gamble and so far i have been lucky.
Sorry to hear about poor form from Herbie Js,i hope they look after you
Happy new year and please be safe
