| Its all in how the custom forms are filled out...and if the package is under a pound, they dont have to be claimed...so either you ordered a bunch of stuff or the form was filled out all screwy... |

| ye i got a reply he said:
It was not a gift, and I can't legally declare it a gift. Over here, customs fraud is a federal offense, punishable by up to 500,000 USD fine and 10 years in a federal prison.
I do not know what to say, that is completely out of my hands, or control. I have nothing to do with customs fees.
Let me know
TOdd
i know its not his fault i guess ill just have to pay it |

| anything over the value of 18 quid sent to uk from outside of the eu you have to pay.......i had to pay 13.50 to get my latest bw from ff.............sometimes they go unmissed though.....it sucks i know.....thats why were supposed to order through brr theres nothing you can do jack...you gotta pay it if you want your parcel.... its the post office handling fee that is the rip off......8 quid of mine was for that.....and i thought postage was paid at the other end?....hmmmm. i might contest it but it pointless....

| yeah, theres not much that can be done about it.........about half of my orders get through the other half get caught......my latest bw from ff cost me 45 quid......the customs fees aint too bad though....its the royalmail handling fee that i s the ripoff...its more than the customs charges.... |
