Customs Letter

(1/3) > >>

chrishil1:
dreaded customs letter arrived this morning from parcelfarce.

paid £8 for frame and £20 delivery from us - took 8weeks to get here.

now I get the letter.....

you owe us £11.95 vat and £8.00 clearance fees = £19.95 in total

Is this about right, or could I claim some of the £20 back? or would they charge me more for importing a bike frame?
Told the seller to put the true value on box when sending.... ie £8

Why do we put up with this country?

pickle:
from what others have said that sounds about right??  what frame was it for £8??

harris:
handling charge , i usualy get slapped with similar charges  .

Webdawg:
The Cusoms charge you wont get away from and it's pretty near to the true cost.

VAT at £11.95, pm me some details, i work in freight and that seems nutty for an £8 bike
