Thinking of getting a new rear shock. This is coming from the U.S and appears to be all fees paid. Am I correct?
Can't get link to work. It says all taxes will be included at time of purchase. Will royal mail be wanting a pound of flesh for some unknown reason?

There'll probably be a "handling fee" from the carrier/importer. Not sure if that only applies if there's duty & tax to be paid/collected at this end.

There should not be any additional charges and certainly no fee to carrier as you have paid in advance, the carrier fee is just for using their deferment account for payment of D & T's.

I think there will be fees.

I bought a pair of Eggbeaters from Germany, and they arrived no problem.

I bought a Garmin Edge 530, and got stung for £74 fees/VAT.

No fees, Amazon have all this sorted really well, everything is paid up front. Same for me buying stuff from amazon UK to Ireland, all fees/tax/duty paid in advance. And if their estimated fee is too high, you always get a little refund (tends to be pennies, I think the most I've had is seven cents)
