Niche cue

don't you believe it, you can get bills months later.

Yes your spot on Andrew, you can get billed up to 6 months later!
It depends if the customs want to look in to or not .
The duty is 20 % of the value , so its legally say £40 duty on a £200 cue .

Oh dear. I'll have to keeps fingers crossed then!!

Yeah i got a letter asking for the money, before they would release it, i can't see how they can come back to you afterwards ????

depends on the company - tnt and fedex bill later usually parcel force will keep until you pay but it varies.

no, it is 20% vat plus the duty which varies but I think depending on the code you give is about 6% plus their clearance fee! hold still I will get the vaseline!

Remember the value includes the carriage!

Ahh i see, mine came by Parcelforce within the UK, so i paid before they sent it to me, or should i say i drove 35 miles to pick it up as useless driver wouldn't knock on a few neighbours doors !!

Have you got the cue yet mate? :snooker:

[jonniemy]

Yeah got the cue. No charges so far. Think it was either Parcelforce or Royal Mail who dropped them off. The extensions were sent seperately & website says signed for by a neighbour, even though we were in, but the person who the website says signed for them was actually away on that date?!? Also there is no signature available to view on the website. In short, I have no extensions now! Not happy at all. I'm going to the post office on Wednesday to see if they can help at all.

That's odd sending the extensions separately , I was thinking about ordering one of their Ultimates a while back, £250 think it worked out for one, before any possible extra charges.

[jonniemy]

Yeah I know. I think they've got that much on the go, plus the language difficulties caused the problems. Pretty p*ssed off as that was why I ordered everything together so they'd all arrive together to avoid this. I've ordered some off a UK seller & if the others do turn up, I'll put them back on EBay. I'm not holding my breath though!!

[MinnesotaSlim85]

well I hope you manage to track them down mate :snooker:

[jonniemy]

All finally arrived! 👍
