[twiggy56]

waiting on my Sml Fuzzi bunz, small rose fitted swaddlebee (which if anyone has a small swaddlebee wrap for, i would do a real-life happydance!), cupcakes AIO, small WN and 3 special ed ittis (giraffe, moo moo and pinky/purple dots)

this is what im waiting on, however iv received at LEAST another 6 nappies this week already...oops

 

[sezzlebum]

ooo bargain, who was that with?

 

[Lu28]

Charliesam? She has over 2500 posts so I figured she was reliable!

 

[sezzlebum]

oooh mines vampiredreams so ya cant blame me

 

[Lu28]

Just as well really, I was offering to buy it during my self imposed fluff ban - figured it was too much of a bargain to pass up

 

[sezzlebum]

i hate being next in line, the first person always gets it lol

 

[Lu28]

Yeah, I sort of wish she hadn't told me that, so close but yet so far!

 

[thelilbump]

hope your nans ok sezle

 

[FemmeEnceinte]

Yeah, I sort of wish she hadn't told me that, so close but yet so far!

I offered her loads for it but didn't get it!

 

[sezzlebum]

i only got the one from vampiredreams as i was swapping like for like,
i havent been using my SIO's at all because i prefer the AIO's, shes swapping strawberry fields with me too shes great

has anyone had anything sent by USPS?
my etsy prize was sent via that, i have the code and have been tracking it but in my email today i got this:

Attempted Delivery 22.03.10 07.04

now there was no card or anything posted thru so i dont know who delivers them over here royal mail, parcel force etc
i dunno if they redeliver or what

 

[sezzlebum]

ah crap, i found it, its by parcel force and the girl just told me i have a customs charge thats crap i won it shouldnt have a charge

 

[Lunaty]

yeah thats dodge hun, talk to the people you won it from!

 

[thelilbump]

ah crap, i found it, its by parcel force and the girl just told me i have a customs charge thats crap i won it shouldnt have a charge

ahhhh eeeek! Customs charges are horrible you have to pay vat on it because it's over a certain amount and then you have to pay £8 on top for the parcelforce to hold it too. Whats worse is if you don't pay, the charge goes up after 10 days!

I'd speak to the lady who sent it though she can't do anything about it but she may refund you the cost, if she does though that will be from her good will because by rights she was honest on the customs form.

 

[sezzlebum]

so 10 days... right parcel force just got it today, if i paid it today then do i still get that charge?

 

[thelilbump]

i think it's 10 days from when parcelforce actually receive it from customs. The letter is pretty fast, i normally get mine the next day after my local pf depot has received it. Sometimes if you ring up your local depot they will give you the 11 number ref code so you can pay online but mine are funny about that.


Oh actually just re read message n notice i miss read, yea you have to pay the £8 plus vat whther or not. It starts climbing up after 10 days

 

[sezzlebum]

thats poo
well and truely poo

i rang, they wouldnt let me pay till i get the letter

i emailed Bonnie, its her etsy team comp and she posted it, she put on the form it was a giveaway contest and a gift, just our customs is poo

 

[thelilbump]

i kno! You would not beleive the shock I had when it first happened to me I was like n what was worse is i spent agesss on the phone to an 0844 number chasing it up

P.S if you look on the parcelforce site there is a section on there that tells you what you should be paying vat on and not so I'd have a look at that juts to double check!
