My order from Mike cleared customs today, I got a letter from parcelforce the UKs bigest carrier, telling me that there was £14.04 VAT due on it and a £13.50 clearance fee from Parcelforce, I rang them up about the clearance fee and they said that they pay the duty as soon as it gets in, so its effectivly interest, at 96% per day.
I think its prety sick that they can charge such high interest on an uncontracted loan. If I started up a loan shark opperation with autherised and contracted loans at 50% interest per month I would go to jail for it, but because they call it a fee they can get away with it, some of the laws in this country smack of double standards, maybe I could charge them a £13.50 fee for writing them the check.

On the other hand I am very excited to get my stuff, and hopefully I will be able to run my buggy tonight.
