Anything worth offering for return to the UK? - British & Commonwealth Military Badge Forum

Greetings all,

I've come upon these in a lot I've purchased some months plus ago and though I did my Googles then I have no idea really if these are worth offering up to send back to the UK. No maker marks. Fairly good condition mostly. Postage from Australia would be about £15.

If they were I'd offer them for sale in the Buy/Sell part of the forum. If not, I'll put them back in the bits box.

Cheers and thanks.

The problem of sending anything to the UK is compounded by the fact that on arrival the customs are likely to add VAT/Duty to the overall cost of the item. My personal opinion of course.

The Warwickshire Yeomanry cap badge is a repro.

Sadly I don’t really see any items worth more than the shipping quotation. With VAT/Duty, P&P, PayPals currency conversion rates and fees a UK buyer is unlikely.

That's a fair point, Dave. Thank you.

Thanks, Luke. I've never sent items to the UK and was unaware of those issues. The traffic has only ever been Australian badges coming home* to this point.

*incl. those beautiful British made Australian badges.
