Didn't get the ransom letter yet, but rang the depot. Just shy of 90 quid between them, but annoyingly, one was £17.60, of which £13.50 or so is probably Parcelfarce fees!
EDIT: Okay, £8 of fees on the latter, and £9.60 of VAT, but still...

Got home from work to find two further ransom demands from the Farce. £40 for one, £25 for the other.
The good news is, Crazyjetty's eBay US dispatch has arrived safely.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

£40 and £25 aren't bad for what I'm thinking is in there.

There there Ian. It was a lot of stuff.
Upon closer inspection, only one of the packages is from America. The other is from Japan. That would be my two already overpriced items from my Yahoo Japan proxy service. Woe. Still, begs the question. Two questions, actually.
1) Am I on some sort of watchlist so all my packages now get stopped, or is everyone?
2) Where the hell is Crazyjetty's other package?
It should show up sometime this week. Hopefully.

You can indeed get flagged to be watched for a while, or so I'm told.

Better brace yourself then, chuck. Another ransom note arrived today for £45 for Crazyjetty's other package.
All three are being delivered tomorrow. Expect pictures.

Another CUTA hit for me, a chap I know through the Twitter was receiving some RiD toys to be split between us, and they ended up with a grand sum of £23ish added to their total. Of which £8 or so are just Parcelfarce fees. I only had to chip in a tenner towards it, but that brings my payments of that nature to just shy of a hundred quid this month alone! Not quite a Nick-tier reaming, but ow.
Still got two packages coming from Yankeeland as well... :/

A single T-shirt shouldn't be expensive enough to be hit. If it is, you are spending too much money on t-shirts.  |

£13 CUTA today for a pair of AM Vehicons. Checked the tracking for my Jet Vehicons, they are "awaiting presentation to the customs inspector". I'm hoping he'll just say "Awesome!" and wave them on their way.

Just when I thought it was safe to go back in the water, got a ransom note for what I assume is a BBTS order to the tune of £29. Arggggh.

I have an HLJ order AND some stuff a friend helped pick up coming from Japan in the next week, so it doesn't bode well.

Do Parcelforce give harder CUTA than Royal Mail? Got a note for the Jet Vehicons which should be the same value as the car Vehicons (they cost the same), but it's for £16 rather than £13.
