Bloody customs!

[Gadget Guy]

I have a customs charge here for 14.85. I'll collect it in the morning and name and shame the guilty party

It's got to be me for sure! Sorry buddy!

They must have it in for you ATM John. 

Funnily enough, I never got charged for my lot which were way over the charge limit.    I suppose I paid in sharps though. 

[DaveK]

Yup. So 6.85 is 15% of whatever value they've decided something is worth, so that would be 45GBP, which in turn is about $70.

Who wrote $70 on the customs form, eh? eh?

Maybe not! I have a few things coming from state-side.

And if it cost me 15 quid for any of them - I'm still doing OK - so don't feel bad 

Actually, I hope it is your stuff GG - since Ben's knife got nabbed I've been worrying

You paid all round  , but ultimately I am the one that missed out.

Just so people can see why we get so pi$$ed off, out of that £14.85 charge, £8 of it is for the bloody privilage of being told you have a charge in the first place. 

Yeah and IIRC parcelfarce charge £13 sqid to deliver the dam thing

It was

Customs had indeed had a poke around (and hadn't repackaged particularly well tbh), but it's all there and £15 is more than reasonable for the 154CM goodness contained within - I'm totally happy

Cheers John

Dave I take it as your happy with the charge you must have used my CC    

[DaveK]

Glad you got your stuff Dave.    Just goes to show that although we have to be careful with what we import, we don't have to go OTT and worry about anything even relatively sharp.
