ahhhh eeeek! Customs charges are horrible

you have to pay vat on it because it's over a certain amount and then you have to pay £8 on top for the parcelforce to hold it too. Whats worse is if you don't pay, the charge goes up after 10 days!

I'd speak to the lady who sent it though she can't do anything about it but she may refund you the cost, if she does though that will be from her good will because by rights she was honest on the customs form.

sezzlebum · Mar 22nd, 2010, 07:49 AM

so 10 days... right parcel force just got it today, if i paid it today then do i still get that charge?

thelilbump · Mar 22nd, 2010, 07:56 AM

i think it's 10 days from when parcelforce actually receive it from customs. The letter is pretty fast, i normally get mine the next day after my local pf depot has received it. Sometimes if you ring up your local depot they will give you the 11 number ref code so you can pay online but mine are funny about that.

Oh actually just re read message n notice i miss read, yea you have to pay the £8 plus vat whther or not. It starts climbing up after 10 days

sezzlebum · Mar 22nd, 2010, 08:07 AM

thats poo
well and truely poo

i rang, they wouldnt let me pay till i get the letter

i emailed Bonnie, its her etsy team comp and she posted it, she put on the form it was a giveaway contest and a gift, just our customs is poo

thelilbump · Mar 22nd, 2010, 08:10 AM

i kno! You would not beleive the shock I had when it first happened to me I was like

n what was worse is i spent agesss on the phone to an 0844 number chasing it up

P.S if you look on the parcelforce site there is a section on there that tells you what you should be paying vat on and not so I'd have a look at that juts to double check!
