UK customs current issues - Update: Yep mine has been seized

Recommended Posts

JSJ

Are you guys using the Royal Mail Detail Track page rather than the basic one? That one gives exact time it lands in UK.

No I wasn't and you are a star mate, thank you. I don't know why I didn't remember it from the last time you posted that. Now saved as a bookmark.

 

It landed at Heathrow this morning apparently, which is why the other status had changed.

If it landed this morning, from my experience there is a very good chance you wil get it tomorrow

Not sure if it helps anyone but I had been worried reading a few of the recent posts about stuff not coming through or being delayed to the UK. I've just received a delivery from Toro via HK (DHL) which seems to have been fine though a touch slower than before and without the tracking ever being updated. Fingers crossed for you all.

Mine arrived fine this morning, China Post.

 

I will only ever use registered post from now on, having read this tale of woe. EMS can whistle for their money. What a waste. $30 for an increased risk of destruction. And by the way does it really cost $30?

I suspect you would have had a letter by now if it was seized though, it could well be the "Beaster backlog :)

Bastards indeed.

This seems to be much more of a problem than in years gone by.

'tis why I am looking more & more at micro / boutique brands.

I feel for you Baxter ('specially as it was a Bronzo) and for all other poor UK

people who are getting ass-raped by our fuckin' customs & excise.

it is indeed shitty, but i guess it's the luck of the draw and i guess on the whole we have it pretty easy in the uk .... i just hope there isn't a sea change in policy.

 

@ andypandy ... yes they inform you with a letter .... took around a month to arrive ..... hopefully the TD ( ANGUS ) will reship, he's asked for a copy of the letter, so we'll see what happens.
