The process is not as simple as it sounds. You cannot waiver the VAT

You must pay the full price at the store and claim the VAT back later.
The VAT counter at Heathrow never opened its doors on time (for me
atleast), and I never managed to get a VAT refund. There is the
option of filling up some forms and doing the entire process through
the post, but thats an entirely different can of worms.
