Well, you get lucky or not, but parcel force is usually being really greedy :x

Just got some more info from a different website, says "awaiting payment of charges". Gutted, hope it's not too much. I take it they can only make you pay on the marked value and not just pull a figure out of the air as to what they think it's worth?
How much was it marked up as Mark?
Sticker for Emma tho, you were bang on with the reason they held it.

hi booshman,
I asked my shipping to mark the package as "gift" with a $50 value...

hi Nicofett,
its super glue, some call it crazy glue. I use the large one to glue the 2 acrylics together & it bonds pretty well, its like white glue but its much stronger, the small one is just a free gift, its just ordinary paper glue

Gosh. I still wish you were doing these in small as well
Well it happens to me pretty much every time I buy something from the USA >.>!
Well they have a £8 of handling fees, from my knowledge, you might end up with a £20/25 tax to pay xD

That really sucks. Can't get away with it every time I suppose. Just good they don't have what I really paid on the label.
Yup! At least you know it's in the UK and you're about to have it soon!!

I hope they're swift about it, I want to get my mum to gather the waists for me before I'm out the country again on the 15th. Sewing is not on my list of skills and I don't really think this is a good starter project.

I hope you did this to my package too Mark, because Brazil's customs is a real nightmare, there is a lot of taxes here....
Told you :cool

Yep you were bang on. 8 quid handling fee and the rest was VAT. Not sure how a parcel with a declared value of £30 ends up paying £16 tax. I'm not the best at maths but that's more than 50% which is bloody robbery.
The jackets are ace. The belts feel like they might break with even the lightest of handling, but the jackets themselves are solid. Hopefully adding foam as demonstrated in the mods thread will sort it out. The medium is too big all over, and even the small is a little wide on the shoulders. I reckon if MJF got in on this run he would have needed an XS size.
Yes, it is really robbery... But you can't say anything about it, otherwise they send your parcel back! I wish I had my word to say sometimes!

My jacket arrived! It came soon that I expected, and I didn't have to pay any taxes at all, so I am really happy! I'm love with this jacket, the quality is really awesome.
Mark, congrats for this project, you made our dream come true.
I hope to post some pictures here this weekend
