Title: My 24" TA XL has cleared customs
Post by: jimwise68 on September 26, 2012, 05:20 PM
Woohoo, just checked my UPS tracking number and my frame/forks/bars are in the UK and have cleared customs at lunchtime.

Should be any day now. Or hopefully its already at home waiting for me.  :laugh:

Heres a chap in Oz who has got his. I don't think its Snapper though, so it should be safe from fire.

Heres a built one somewhere on Lake Michigan lakefront, which narrows the location down to about 3000 miles.

Not sure how they came to it but;
No Customs duty
No Excise duty
Only £41.42 for VAT.
(Plus their 'clearance fee of £8)
So less than £50  :daumenhoch:

I know. I was expecting around 150, that's what I'd budgeted for, not that there was a budget really.  ::)

Mine arrived at Post Office yesterday. Now says charges pending (great ::) just hope its low like the others posted on here), item held, addressee being notified. But no notification as yet.  >:(

I may seem impatient but we've all waited 8-9 months for these and this one left Jacksonville Florida 14 days ago and has been in GB for 5 days, yet still no physical sign of it. What are they fookin doing with em? Sometime next week now then i guess. Better bloody be worth the wait  :rant:

I bought some Bespoke Staniless Steel Tyga Exhausts and Carbon Cans from Thailand recently. Ok i got charged £40 import VAT  :tickedoff: but they arrived within a week of payment  :daumenhoch:

Ditto mate - I feel your pain  :rant:

I saw mine was showing 'arrival at post office' last night and thought it was going to turn up today...waited in all day long checking outside every time a van went by and now checking online I see 'Payment of charges - Item being held, addressee being notified' what a f-in scunner!! How long does it take for them to get in touch and what method do they use does anyone know?  Can I contact my sorting office and go pay and collect for example?

Very good. Just one small gripe with the left side main tube sticker, one corner you can see where it was picked off the card.  ::)

Edit: And on closer inspection, finger prints under other decals too. It's not hard... :knuppel2:

In the past I've not waited to be notified by post,I've just gone to the sorting office with some id and paid and collected it there.
