Have just been held to ransom for a whopping £22 on a parcel.
Please console me that I haven't just broken some sort of record!

Unfortunately it's not ransom - it's tax, and therefore legal
It is uniform. It's the import VAT at whatever % it is (I forget) + the bit I too resent - £8 to the post office for collecting it. It isn't at all random. But one does sometimes escape it by sheer chance.But tax is usually applied uniformly, which this isn't! Imagine if Car Tax was collected by random selection too...
Oh if only I'd had to deal with "£8-at-the-post-office-for-collecting". I'd probably be Ok with that....the bit I too resent - £8 to the post office for collecting it.
Maybe your guy just has a warped sense of humour. But why would you want to make life hard for other people ?
