Ash, when I bought my beautiful Burke & James recently H.M. Rip Off Scumbags, or the Postal system (as they would prefer to be known), wrote to me giving me a phone number that I could ring to pay all the Customs Duties and the VAT charges (including VAT on postage and packing ((sh*****es)) by Visa etc. It's gonna cost ya, but it will be worth it. You will need to be out of the pit by 11-00am judging by our local second rate delivery service but It'll be worth it.
Best Wishes,
Pete.
I'm waiting for the letter/call.
It's not excitement, more anxiety than anything!
I hate to think a delicate and somewhat expensive (to me) product is stuck in the hands of 'them'
For future reference: UPS... they deliver on time. you can track it all the way, and.....they clear customs and bill you later.
Leslie, as your first post on the forum, welcome. Otherwise, please search for previous threads on UPS - you might be (un)pleasantly surprised!
Postal strike starts tomorrow... lets hope within 7 days I might at least KNOW what Royal-*%&^-up Mail have done with my camera!!
Any news of your camera?
Nope. It's in the hands of ParcelForce.
That means it could be anywhere.
Express Post my
I made several inquiries regarding the hold up and received this:
'Dear Dean,
Thank you for your Express Post International (EPI) enquiry. Please note
that your item is being processed at the National Depot. Please have the
addressee contact our delivery agent in UK Parcel Force on + 08708 501150
Consequently, we are happy to provide a manual trace on receipt of a copy of
the airway bill. Please email a copy to the above address, or fax 02 9202
6283. Please ensure the details are legible by tracing over the sender,
receiver, content and declaration details. Please also include your phone
number to make contact on delivery status once we have received from UK.
(Copy of Airway Bill required as Proof of Purchase and Security reasons).
Best regards'
Not sure what they're up to here.....the camera was shipped eleven days ago
The usual time frame is seven days for EPI. It only took me 21 days to sail here from Tilbury on a rusty old hulk way back in 1958 and that included a stopover in India
I've had parcel force take a long time before whereas UPS were very fast, it's the nature of the beast and parcel force being part of royal mail the beast in question would make a tortoise look fast..
