It's surprising the stuff the people buy. The surprising thing is how much the products that we regularly bash on these boards actually end up help people. Having a product that TELLS them they're going to have a super-awesome-unparalleled-muscle bursting workout, they push themselves harder than they normally would and get some great progress/workouts. They would have probably achieved as much without the supplement from eating lots+working out hard, but its function is more of a mental booster/placebo effect.
who said any body had bought them ? I asked for price comparisons to get some idea how they compare with buying in the states to buying in uk.
I dont think advertising claims have ever been mentioned --until now .
taken from HM CUSTOMS WEB SITE-Royal Mail, Parcelforce Worldwide and Fast Parcel Operators may charge you for processing your package through Customs. These charges are normally collected together with any duty/taxes on delivery but they are not Customs duties.
If you need to know the exact cost of these extra charges in advance, you should contact the seller and ask which carrier they will be using to send your goods. You can then contact the carrier and ask what their charges will be.
If you buy goods online from a country outside the European Union, for instance the USA, Canada, China, Australia
You will be charged:
Customs duty if the amount of duty is €10 (£7)* or over
Import VAT if the value of the goods is €22 (£18)* and over

Postal Packages imported from countries outside the EU
top ^2.1 Does the sender have to declare the goods?
Under international postal agreements the sender must complete a customs declaration (CN22 or CN23) which in most cases should be affixed to the package. The declaration includes a description of the goods, the value and whether they are gifts or commercial items. Any Post Office abroad should be able to give advice to the sender.
It is in your own interest to ensure, wherever possible, that the sender abroad makes a complete and accurate declaration. If no declaration is made, or the information is inaccurate, the package may be delayed while we make further enquiries, or in some cases the package and its contents may be seized.
At the end of the day your supplier was only carrying out their job by declaring the full value of the goods.It looks like youve been lucky for sometime but luck does run out.
top ^2.2 Do I have to pay import duties and/or import VAT on goods sent to me?
Most goods arriving in the UK from outside the EU are liable to any or all of the following taxes:
customs duty
excise duty
import VAT
Allthe above can be found on HM customs web site
