I was under the impression that the only additional fees were for VAT for items over £15 and duty for items over £135?

Yes, item over £15 and you have VAT liability which may be collected by the carrier and subject to carrier surcharge. Duty has higher threshold and is in addition to VAT limit - VAT is also payable on any duty amount and carriage.
So at £15 and over, you are at beck and call of the carrier and whether they will hit you with their surcharge.

Well I’m joining the “Accessories but no Model 3 yet” club. A few items ordered via Abstract Ocean:
- Nomad wireless charger
- Centre console wrap (carbon fibre)
- Centre console organiser tray
- Door release button decals (this to stop me having to explain how to open the doors, a simple concept that I like
)
I think that’ll do me for starters. And while I know that shipping, fees etc are high, unfortunately it seems there are no local alternatives to purchase such items. One of the costs of early adoption I suppose. And at least I’ll have something to look at while waiting for the actual car

Oh go on then, I'll join the club as well...
I fitted the TapTes wireless phone charger yesterday. Perfect fit. And with the supplied cables and splitters I was still able to plug in my USB dashcam and music drive, and still have a spare USB socket. Fitting was really easy, the only bit that flummoxed me for a moment was removing the horizontal bar at the bottom. It slides to the left to unlatch, and then just lifts off. I’ll do a charging test on a longer journey in due course. Here are some photos, before and after:
That looks really tidy! I was unsure whether I should pay the extra for the Nomad but providing the charging is ok I'll be happy.
I tried the charger before I got the car, just plugged in on my desk, and it worked fine, but I didn’t time it to see how fast it was charging. I think wireless charging on the iPhone is limited to 7.5W anyway. I also tried it with several different cases on my phone, because the first wireless charger I bought to have on my desk wouldn’t reliably charge with any case on the phone. No such problem with this charger.
The TapTes is very cheap compared to the others, but it seems very well designed and made. I’m glad I bought it rather than the others. It was delivered free in about 10 days. I think at the moment it is on sale at $40 rather than the $50 I paid.
Have any of you ordered from these:
Tesla Model 3 Accessories — EV Accessories Ltd
If so how did you find them?

They are just an Affiliate Marketing company - I don't think they hold any stock. They just source the stuff for you from various other places.
Thanks, I may just message them to see if I can collect as they are only 20 minutes away from me. Just thought it might get around delivery cost and time plus possible duty charges.
Another box of goodies from TapTes arrived today! This one took just 12 days from order to delivery. No duty or other charges, that’s three deliveries I’ve had now like that, I must be lucky

I've had an email from TapTes today, they only appear to have dispatched a few items - have you had part shipments before?
