Have things changed?
Just received an item from the US via USPS then Parcelforce, and there was no charge at all!
I used to import a lot of gear from the US, shipped ground by my bro, and perhaps got lucky 30% of the time, but not so much recently. As in the last ten years..
Had been expecting a bike from Finland, and that arrived, but also there was a US package that should have owed near £200 after you add all up with Parcel Force's usual clearing charge.
Must have been a mix up at customs, or somewhere along the line from there.
..or will I be getting a bill?
It occurs to me that would be a better way to do this anyway, rather than forcing customers to pay before or at collection. A bill sent directly from customs would save a lot of faff.
I won't feel guilty if I don't pay anything, after paying over the odds so many times before!
Anyone else dodged the bullet lately?
(I will be making a further donation to the Jo Cox appeal in order to appease the gods.)
