Just done some digging ...
I've been charged 20% VAT by the look of it (£33 ish) but the sales price on the order didn't include this extra UK VAT charge in the total price (although it includes the German VAT amount).
When I looked around, the same board here is advertised from UK outlets for about £199 but from Germany it's advertised as £194 with free shipping, so even though its only a fiver in savings, thats why I bought it.
Here is the kicker ... UPS are charging a 20% "handling fee" - so that's another £33 going to them so in total my board is 40% more expensive from Germany.
I've got my accountant on the case so I'll see what he says, although this looks like a monumental cock-up somewhere because VAT charging and rates haven't changed since we left the EU (except pubs and restaurants which have a new 5% rate but thats because of COVID not Brexit).
