Post Office cards & customs charges info

[tintin40]

I've got a grey card through the door yesterday. With a tracking code and a customs charge to be paid. But the one bit of info that would be most useful would the name of the sender. I often thought this in the past. Even when you go on line to check via the post office web site. Just says the tried to deliver. Which i that already :x
Why can't they put who is the sender is :roll: . I'm sure its my 'Groovy' forks
Sorry that my post office rant over

ask the sender for the tracking number,if they match then you know what it is

Well after a merry run around. I've got a phone number for customs & Post office 02072392447 and they told me. if under £51 then no charges They charged me £8 then the post office added £9 They also told me if the item less then i can claim the £8 back. But little do they know it cost a lot more
So sexy black 'Groovy' forks will go on my black Trimble pictures to follow
