    Thanks for the alert! Of course, I haven't sent the bank transfer yet. I had planned to make a call to that phone number to get the needed clarifications. No additional emails from FedEx yet. In the tracking feature of their website, the package is shown as the delivered and the process closed. So strange!

    Usually after paying I got a physical invoice in my mail box after two weeks. Strange you don’t have any email.

    I am afraid I was too optimistic. 😔

    The package arrived yesterday, with a notice to pay VAT under a very odd procedure: the guy from FedEx left a bank current account number (without any bank account holder reference), written by hand on a piece of paper, so that I can make a bank transfer of €40-something to pay VAT. He also provided a phone number to send the bank transfer document via WhatsApp.

    I wasn't at home when the parcel arrived, so I could not make any of the obvious questions. If I had not received the parcel with the set as well (still unopened from my side), I would have thought this was scam.

    Are you sure it isn’t a scam? I got several email from FedEx with a direct link to their website where I payed the fee with PayPal, the procedure you described isn’t clear at all.

    If you ordered directly from Mosaic there is no VAT included, they do not use the EU IOSS ("Import One Stop Shop") scheme as far as I know. Within the EU you pay VAT on arrival of an order from outside the EU, unless the non-EU seller uses IOSS, in that case VAT is charged at check-out if the total value does not exceed 150 euros, and no VAT is due on arrival.

    By the way - and this might be of interest to EU residents - Belgian store TYQMusic is currently offering the Byas Mosaic for 189 euros (pre-order) plus shipping. They told me they're expecting the set mid- or late December: TYQMusic

    Just got an email from FedEx: 50,41 Euros bill. The grand total of this set is more then 260 $! Last set I ever buy direct from Mosaic.

    Sadly, being fleeced comes with the territory for these sets, great as they are, these days. Fortunately they are not issuing new sets every week !

    They could cut the VAT from the price. I just bought a shaving brush from UK and they didn’t charge VAT.

    Lately I buy records only from EU, prices are higher then Japan and US, but no surprise.
