Learned through the DHL website that shipment insurance does not cover damage done by a Customs official. Also I received the DHL invoice for duties and it is based not on the item total, but on the total amount billed including shipping.
Next time I will skip the insanity and buy domestic.
That's what customs do I'm afraid. It does seem like a rip off to be charged on shipping but they all do it. I used to buy a fair bit of stuff from the US and other parts of the world wherever it was cheaper than the UK but the duty and tax makes it not worth while anymore.
