I ordered shower head from Light In The Box without realising they are based in China.The site doesn't make this clear.

The item incurred import charges of £30, almost half the value of the item.The website strapline is "One World One Price", only half of that proposition holds true.The website should make it clear where the distributor is based to ensure that buyers are therefore aware that import charges may apply for their country.I accept that Light In The Box are not responsible for identifying specific import duty levies for each order at the time of order. 3036c01

I've just had the same experience. It is almost impossible to find any mention of import tax when ordering. It doesn't notify you at any point of the ordering process. £12 postage and £18 import duty on £50 order - almost doubles the price. If I thought I had any chance of a complete refund I would refuse to accept delivery and send the whole package back.
