@John K, you are absolutely right.

A friend just tried ordering for a RaspberryPi kit, from amazon the total cost is coming to $167, but if the same kit is purchased from UK and shipped in via "friends and family", the cost is 8k.

If they manage to strike a deal with KRA where they tax you straight from amazon and you just pick the goods from posta with no additional fees that'll be great. However, it means we'll probably go back to using "friends & family shipping" as our VAT and Duty rates will probably increase the cost of goods by almost 50% for most stuff. :(

Regards,
John K.

@John, yeah, most probably an incomplete rollout. When you change the delivery address to some Nigerian destination, the goods suddenly become deliverable.
