- I must be one of the lucky ones! Accepting the comments re minimum purchases
- and having not even tried to get VAT refunds just on receipts I can say with
- certainty that within six weeks of dropping my correctly filled out set of
- VAT refund forms at _Heathrow_ T4 I received a refund in Australia. So it
- does work but be prepared to allocate at least 20 mins to 1 hour for the
- process! BTW this was approx 22 months ago.
