Hi
I am new to this site but trying to locate a set for my daughter’s 18th birthday.
She is autistic and it is the only thing that she wants. The set has sold out
in the UK Lego store here and after contacting the states Lego.com and they are
unable to ship it to the UK even though it is in stock.
How do I know how much the shipping and taxes will be on top of an item please
- it is really confusing 🫤
Many thanks ☺️

Even if it is sold out in the UK Lego store, it might be available from a UK
seller here on BrickLink - use the search functionality at the top of the page
to find the set, and the various sellers should come up. And if it isn't
available from a UK seller many other sellers will ship to the UK, and should
be able to tell you the cost.

Once you're on the set's page, you can search for sellers who ship to
the UK like this. I set the condition to New, Sealed:

You can contact the seller to ask. Use the "contact seller" button in
the store.

Which set is it? There might be some available within the UK.

Hi,

As the others said: try to find it in UK first.

Then, if you have to import it, you’ll have to add 20% import UK VAT (on shipping
too).  That tax will added and collected by BrickLink if the set is below £135. 
Above £135, you’ll pay it at reception, plus a “brokering fee” of several £ to
Royal Mail or whoever delivers.
