FedEx Fees, by Happy Go Lucky Chap on Feb 29, 2016 15:18:53 GMT 1, I just got a bill from FedEx for ยฃ64.10, for a print that cost $368. The bill is made up of VAT, ยฃ52.10, and Advancement Fee, ยฃ12. Does this seem excessive or is this just the norm?

You can also argue the advancement/handling fee by saying you never entered an agreement for this. Sometimes they waive it.

FedEx Fees, by chrispa on Feb 29, 2016 19:34:50 GMT 1, I have found Fedex to be the best of all shippers
If you get a few things through the year my advice is
mail them to out a card on account - then there is no advance fee to pay, only VAT
when you know a shipment is on the way you mail them, give them the shipping number and tell them its art and the import fee is reduced
It works like a dream....
