Dont think of it as £40 for a pair of forks, Think of it as £40 across all the stuff you have had :daumenhoch:
I hate the £8 handling fee by Royal (Plug our pension black hole) Mail

 :LolLolLolLol:

 >:D Fooking  gets on my tits everytime that handling fee ,, i don't want you to handle it ,, I want you to deliver it .

Why don't they drop it a the nearest Post office and we could just pay the customs duty only on collection ,, that 'd be one fee less.

I know it's a bitch but you gotta admit Andy mate ,, you've been very very lucky so far  ;)

Marky ,,£40 fees on a Tuf neck  :shocked: £40 extra on a frickin' stem ,,,it must've been a dear un to have a charge like that on it ,,,ouch   :(

send them a £40 late delivery bill back. think i've been lucky and never had any to pay customs duty, probably cause i live in scotland and all the posties are on the buckfast and dont bother to check.  :D

I've sent stuff the other way and they don't pay tax at their end.   :wtf:  Maybe certain states do - they pay tax on kids bike parts across the border in Canada.   :-\

FedEx threatened to send bailiffs around when I wouldn't pay tax and charges on something they delivered because the tit at the other end put down the wrong value on an item.  Had to swallow it in the end...
