The item was of poor quality and badly cut to shape. It was overlapping in some areas. For the price paid I expected far better

We are sorry to hear that you did not like the Solid State Black Xbox One X Skin set - this has a simple 5 piece flat surface Skin coverage where every piece is basically a rectangular cut and the pieces will not overlap.

As this recent order is your 2nd purchase from us, we assume that your previous order for a Patriotic Xbox 360 S Skin 7 months ago went well?

The Skin application process is similar and the Xbox One X Skin should actually be a little easier to put on because the surfaces are flat. Did you stretch the Skin pieces by accident during the application process? If stretched, the Skin will be longer than it was and this will explain the overlap.

We've just sent you an email - please reply to that email with photos showing what happened so that we can assist you further.

No goods have not arrived yet because I have to pay over 20% on top for VAT before I can collect my goods from the post office.

Considering This site offers 'free' and 'world wide' shipping and avoids mentioning this will come with additional costs for places like the UK.

This is the first time I have encountered such an issue with any orders, from overseas or otherwise.

We're sorry to hear that you had to pay an import fee. This charge is effectively "VAT" and is already factored into the pricing of any other product that you purchase within the UK.

Products that are sold on our web store do not include this charge. This VAT is for the "consumption of goods and services within a country" and is levied by the customs office of the country when the package is imported, if the package is above a certain value.

Given the size/weight of your package as the order was more than £60, the customs office probably took note and applied a charge. Your import VAT charge is £6.52 according to Royal Mail.

The UK is the only country that is checking postal mail imports to levy import tax and even then, we rarely receive feedback of taxes incurred from British customers as most packages fall below the minimum amount. We do state that prices quoted are before tax for UK destinations (at checkout).

You did indeed enjoy free shipping (worth $23.25) and a promotional discount (worth $27.48) on your order. Nobody likes taxes but just take it that part of these savings has now gone towards nation building.

I purchased skins for a X Box 360, X Box Connect, Wii, Wii Controllers and Controllers for the X Box. All of these were "Satin Black" so as to cover the original "white plastic" that they were made from. I simply wanted to "hide" them in my audio cabinet. Now I have BLACK AND WHITE system items behind the glass. They did not cover the entire item, thus leaving white to show. A "skin" covers, it does not "patch" in spots. The cutouts for sensors are too large as well. Not worth it!
