Hi peeps,
I have ordered nail tips and some adhesive from the USA to the value of $300.
It was on a 3-5 day delivery and I have just been sent a letter from my local Parcelforce depot that they want £106 customs charge. I'm really confused...the lady on the phone at the couriers say that it was purely because the goods were insured up to $800. If I asked the supplier to supply a commercial invoice, they may reduce it.Is that right? I've been directed to customs who are always engaged as I would like to know the rate of duty on nail tips!! If I got the supplier to send in individual packages via normal air mail, will this happen??? Soz ... just had to get my moan in. has anyone else had this issue? It seems stupid to pay £106 on $300 worth of stuff. It's worse still as it is sitting in Milton Keynes and I need it!
