Today something strange happend. I got home from work this evening to find a great big parcel on my doorstep (I live in a communal block of flats inhabbited by mainly old people so no danger of theft)- it was my G3.3 suspension. Yippee- though it has taken 3 1/2 weeks to arrive.
Strange thing is on one side is the green customs label stating a value of $210- its actually worth $370-, and its marked as 'commercial sample'.....
On the other side of the parcel theres a nice big label stating that I owe £25.86p before it can be delivered, yet I was never sent a letter asking for the money & it was delivered anyway.....
And in the final act of weirdness I got a note from Royalmail saying I have to pay £13.22 before I can get my Towerhobbies order....
I've ordered nearly half a dozen times from Tower before and never been charged a penny for import tax or VAT (I ordered stuff totaling $150+ before and nothing was charged), yet on this last order for about £35 I get charged £13.22; now thats pretty strange stuff....
