I added the victorinox red lanyard. :) (Image removed from quote.)

I did the same on one of mine yesterday, only difference is that my red lanyard has a black Victorinox logo on it  8).

The red lanyards look great on the MTO PX  :tu:.
Seems like geniuses think alike 8)

I want to do the same but can't find the one I have yet
You're to late! :twak: :whistle:

Just got home from work and the card is here telling to go pay the international package handling fee so I should have some if not all of mine tomorrow.  :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh

Grant must have done his usual trick with the label so no customs charge to pay  :tu:

You have to pay customs and an international handling fee?  That sucks!  I'm glad I could at least save you one of the inappropriate governmental fondling!   :police: :ahhh :police:

You all have no idea how happy I am to hear that they are all getting where they are going.  I really won't rest easy until everyone has theirs safe and sound!

Now let's see some pics of everyone's new toys!   :pok:

Def

If it's a parcel that won't just post through the letter box I do. The calendar came straight to my house so no handling fee to pay as it was small enought to fit through a standard mail slot. For bigger parcels we have to pay £8 + tax for an international package handling fee.  Your price labelling keeps it under the import duty threshold though  :cheers:

 ???

So even if it's below the import charge threshold and you don't have to pay taxes, you still have to pay the handling fee?

Sometimes, yes. Not all the time, it seems to depend on its size. There are guidelines on royal mail website, but they don't always apply them for some reason.

Receiving mail from countries outside the UK

All mail that enters the UK may be examined by Customs. Normally letters, postcards and parcels containing only documents or similar forms of correspondence are excluded.

If you are receiving a parcel from a country outside the EU it may incur Customs charges. Any parcel assessed as being liable for Customs charges will also incur a Royal Mail handling fee of £8.

Any goods imported into the UK over the value of £15 are liable to import VAT. Gifts between private individuals over the value of £39 are also liable for VAT. Goods and gifts over these values may also be liable for customs duty. You no longer have to pay Customs duty for goods up to the value of £135, however you will still be required to pay import VAT and excise duty where applicable.

Please note these limits do not apply to alcohol and tobacco goods where both excise duty and import VAT may be charged. It is not permitted to send alcohol and tobacco products into the UK from another EU country unless prior arrangements have been made to account for the excise duty.


So it's vat on the item, and a package handling fee.

Hurrah !!

The postman has left me a note to sort of the package charges. Clearly I must live out in the wilds to wait this long ....

Am I the last waiting patiently?
