Shouldn't be charging VAT in my opinion. That is a domestic tax.
Same when I buy reloading stuff from Oz, they take off their gst.
Years ago I challenged Tom Tom when I bought an updated map. Same argument, their VAT (Holland) is a domestic tax. Got a refund.
A lot of companies, including Oz just charge and get away with it. Whether it ends up in their governments' coffers who knows.
200 Euros for shipping (~NZ$340) is outrageous. The service cost seems high but no real idea on that. I presume that did a full clean and service?
Estimated time for arrival back here would be a big lottery. I am still waiting after 102 days for a small parcel from the States.
Still time to go out and buy a Leupold :-)
