That was one of the reasons I stopped trying to be helpful and do group orders... Some people would not accept the oncosts, even though I told everyone that I would split the post/packaging and import duties equally. Some people thought I was doing the import as a business, rather than as a helpful individual, and would repeatedly phone up at various times of the day and night asking why their unit had not arrived (we were all waiting for delivery of course!!!) and then wanted to know why the costs were nearly the same in £ as the original price in $ was. In the end, after a couple of such experiences, I said I would only bring in what I wanted. That was a shame for those that were patient and didn't think I was trying to make a profit (in fact, I usually made a slight loss, as I tended to round everyone elses on-costs down!) and it just wasn't worth the hassle in the end.
