£11 clearance fee, cheaper than the Farce.
So that's $21.56 on a $242 parcel.

I still find it absurd in this age of international-commerce-at-the-touch-of-a-button that quasi-legal random charges are applied for daring to buy products we can't buy here. My rage will never abate over this matter. Never.

A quite astonishing ransom charge of £25.19 has arrived for TFCC Ramjet, bringing the total cost of that figure now to a quite frankly outrageous sum of...£87.40 (inc p and p). For a deluxe toy.
Of course, I might not actually be able to get to the depot to pay the charge/collect the figure as Parcelfarce have it and not Royal Mail as it is very difficult for me to get there.
Excuse me...FUCKS SAKES!!!!!!
Apols.

FFS! You can't even pay for it online because the system wants you to select a redelivery date. But I can't do that because I haven't paid it.
I could ask for it on a Saturday...but that's an extra £12. Or to another address for an extra...£5.50. Fucked if I'm giving them any extra money!
I have selected the option of going to the depot on Monday. Even though the automated system says they will try to deliver it tomorrow. When I'm out.
I think I can get there on a train. If I can find it in time after work before it shuts.
MY RAGE COULD IGNITE THE STARS.

CUTA News from HMs Customs & Excise: 2.4 Goods imported on or after 1 November 2011
With effect from 1 November 2011, the threshold over which commercially imported goods are subject to import VAT will reduce from £18 to £15. However please note this change does not affect any other Customs thresholds or reliefs.
This means that from 1 November 2011, commercial consignments of £15 or less, excluding alcohol, tobacco products, perfume or toilet waters, will be free from customs duty and import VAT.
Commercial consignments with a value exceeding £15 imported on or after 1 November 2011 will be liable to import VAT. I blame Nick: Travel chaos, Time Wars weather, riots and the CUTA limit comes down.

especially since it's not gone up for years.
However since more people import HMRC want a greater slice of the action

Philip has escaped a CUTAring on his Botcon Thundercracker courtesy of the post office who sent it out on the van without claiming the charge first.
So that £9.14 in VAT and £8 charge I've been saved.

What a f**king B*****d. No need for that treatment. Not. Called. For. Tis the season of goodwill to all men. Unless you work for HM's CUTAing dept. One of the HLJ packages, Devastator, made it in under the radar. I maintain the Yen->£ maths is too difficult now for HMs Customs and excise. The other is still out there. I'm hoping and praying a third very exciting package will be leaving HLJ HQ shortly..... |
