Just got a very official letter from Customs. Seems that, since 2021.07.01, any goods (or bads, even) coming from outside the EU are subjected to taxes and VAT, regardless of value and date of purchase.

 ??? ???

So... I had to create an account with the Post and fill a bunch of forms I never saw before with info I don't know it's what they want.

 :facepalm:

If I stop posting in a few days, is 'cause I smurfed the whole process and ended up (or down) in jail.

 :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh

Thanks a bunch, Chi!

(Image removed from quote.)

I remember we chatted via PM regarding the custom issue, how's that going?  Hope all is resolved by now!



Still haven't received my magnets. :cry:
Why is this taking so long? With every passing week, I lose a little more faith in receiving them. I think I've given up any hope now. I have accepted that they're not showing up. :cry:

Anyone else still waiting?

RP, I just wrote to post office to try help speed up the process, and hopefully I will see that move again.  Sorry for the really long wait, usual semi-express will only take 1-2 weeks worldwide(that's how I always send the packages), but recent outbreak completely wipe out our local postal system(they even deny local service).  It had gotten so bad that the government decided to close border and ban flight between many countries.  But since everything was sent out 2 months ago, they should ought to be somewhere in the middle now.  :think:

But don't you worry about things getting lost, I will keep you posted and I do have plan B!  :cheers:



I am not even sure I have one coming but if so I haven't received anything :ahhh

I have comis isn't in jail though :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh

They will get there hopefully, RP :salute: :tu:
Hahaha!   If mind is a prison...btw, there's a song on that.

They are awesome Comis, thank you very very much  :cheers:
IIRC, I just saw this on Soldier On right?  :tu:



Comis, any chance I can get one? I was out a few years and missed the boat  :(

Some of the magnets are still on their ways to our members, but once everything is in order, I might have some left over for the donation magnets and I will be in touch.  :cheers:

Not yet. Our customs are smarter than you. Just because you send a package marked as Gift and there's no invoice or receipt or any similar document in that package, they know it's a commercial package and will charge taxes and fees accordingly.

I was waiting until I got it. Now I'm going to make a formal complaint on the Customs Authority, for handling this so poorly.

I sent in a formal email inquiry 2+ weeks ago, and finally just got a response from local post office to confirm the package has been delivered on Apr 5 today.  Just couple days ago, it still shown as "pending shipment since 14 Jan 2022".  :facepalm: :D

Now I am really keeping my fingers crossed for the large shipment arriving US soon...

I can say for sure that USPS has been extremely lethargic with outbound international shipments (the dingbats sat on a package I sent to the UK for almost two weeks). Looks like the same is true for inbound international shipments as well. Fingers crossed that the magnets bound for the States are soon delivered.

So...a batch of 'em went to Nix for redistribution. Do I understand that correctly? (Makes sense to do it that way if Comis isn't in the States.) If so... :popcorn: :woohoo:
