Do Royal Mail staff have to pay handling fee for a parcel with customs charge. Happy to pay the customs but the handling fee is extortionate.

Yes £8 for a customs fee of £3, my main issue is that I’m not sure if the item will do my job so may need returned. If so then it’s cost me £8 for nothing. Would’ve thought that would be a perk of the job.

the handling fee is charged by customs and excise Royal mail pay this upfront and claim it back from the customer
