How is customs fee included? I thought that would be dependent once it comes to the US by the form of shipping company
i.e UPS, FEDEX etc

No, it is not. Custom fee is added to your total price when it is cleared by customs in Louisville, Kentucky.
You will have to pay the customs fee, however much it is, or you will not be able to receive your package.

The custom fee is not included in the price, you won't know if you got hit with custom fees until your package is delivered.

$250 shipped. Had to use a card though paypal wouldn't work either.
Damn, can't get it to show 139 euros.

Most likely because OS declared the actual price of the shoes on the package.
The key is to have the shipper declare the package at a lower price to avoid fees.

Not a certainty, it's hit and miss. One of the NTers had it down to a science. Said something like if it's under $270 or something, no custom fees?? I dont know, but I do know a lot of people have gotten their pairs from the UK and been cleared of customs fees, hope im one of them lol

It's not included guys, if you get hit with a custom fee, it will be on top of the price you paid. Now custom fees is already the luck of the draw. Sometimes you get hit, sometimes you don't.

Your custom fee isn't the VAT.
...right?

Vat is the local taxes, custom fees are the actual customs charge. Completely separate.

What if I ordered 2 pairs? That puts it over $270. Am I likely to get hit? If so, I'm going to cancel.

Don't do it Bro! It's hit or miss. You've got the chance to walk away with them at $50 over retail. Sure there is also the chance that ragedy customs will come knockin lol

Before you do that, keep in mind it's the luck of the draw. It's not 100% that you get hit with that fee. I usually ask them to label it as a gift, helps most of the time. But there is still a possibility of getting charged.

Man I hope I'm not hit with that fee. I ordered on Friday from Kickz. It's not worth it for that price.

I don't know the exact number that must be exceded, but I saw a guy got an order with 3 pairs in the same shipment from the UK and didnt get hit, so who knows.

It's hit or miss like everyone is saying. Although, I believe when you order more than one pair, you have a higher chance of getting hit. Don't quote me on that though
I've ordered from 3 different uk sites and not once have I been hit with customs. The only difference is these are priced higher than the other shoes I've ordered

It makes a difference if you type in 'kickz.co.uk' instead of kickz.com .... The prices changed for me

Yeah, whenever I try to order anything from Europe, I have to call and have them take limitations off of my bank account.
