Hello everyone.
I have a question aimed at the UK members of the forum. I've ordered a 10th Planet rashguard from melee
Rashguard: $52.00
Postage: $24.00
Total: $76.00 or £49.99
I've now been sent a letter from Parcelforce asking for another £23.75 to clear customs! This means this rashguard will now cost me a total of £73.74 or $114. What a joke!
Anyone else have this problem? Its a nice rashguard, but not that nice. I think it's going to have to go back...
i no keith werbisky has an account with melee he normaly orders my stuff so i dont have to pay customs charges. email keith james.
Cheers mate. I'll send him a message now!
koolio :)
Hi James, I had the same problem. Next time please ask them to tick it as a gift so you wont pay the customs fee. But don't go mad and don't order too much in one parcel. Steven and Stevie from Melee are always happy to help. Believe me, they do care about customers. I ordered a lot of 10th planet stuff from them and had no problem with it.
If you read the 'fineprint' you will see that nowadays it doesn't matter if they tick or send items as a gift, there is still the possibility you will get the customs charges. I swear it happens to me every time i order from the states. Especially when being delivered via parcelforce or ups. Fucking sucks! :-)
strange, i order lots of stuff internationally, including from the US, but ive never been made to pay extra
agh looks like that nibiru kit bag site is down atm
its been down for months and months lolQuote:

Cheers guys. Think I'm gonna have to suck it up and pay that bloody import VAT! The rashguard had better fit...
Ave never had any problem receiving stuff but have to pay the extra every time
