Here's how it works: Frenchephaistos gets hold of a suitable box, fills it with goodies, and mails it to the next in line. Let's say AndyAaron gets it. He looks over the contents and decides what he thinks is cool. When I had the boxes making their way across the States, it was understood that you had to put stuff in if you removed more than one item. (I put at least one item in for every item I took out, sometimes more.) Andy AndyAaron would then repack the box and send it to the next MTo'er. The Stateside box kept growing in size. It's pretty cool to see how it grows, and you have to wonder who claimed the stuff you put in...
It's a bit like an EDC Christmas for adults.
I'd be interested in this but... well, there was that whole Brexit thingy.... Do I still qualify?
The issue with sending to the UK (and buying from the UK) is that the items you sent will be taxed by the UK when they arrive, and taxed again by the EU country they next arrive in, unless they miss it.You can complete forms to show that the object you sent or receive has already been taxed in the EU or the UK, avoiding to pay double tax, but it is not simple.Good luck with the GAW effort.
From what I know, at least here, there is a semi-automated system, that takes, I think, the declared value, if it seems reasonable, and sends us an email to go and pay, online, the tax, for the parcel to be released, if it comes from a third country.
Is there value limit when you dont need to pay taxes, kinda sucks to pay taxes double when sending there. I kinda understand it but makes things annoying. Only Tools Matters
I don't want to get political, but we are feeling the effects of Brexit with this one
