Hi to everyone on the forum.
/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
I received my first order to the UK a couple of weeks ago - I
got it shipped by Airmail, rather than Fed-Ex. when it arrived, I had to pay customs duties on it (it was PI and
AE). Customs came to about 17 dollars.
I didnt like the Airmail thing, so i am going to try Fed-Ex next time - I
wondered if others ordering in the UK were getting hit by customs when they ordered by Fed-Ex or by Airmail?
Also, how long does it normally take to reach the UK if it\'s Fed-Ex\'d?
Thanks.

I was never hit by
customs charges with regular mail, I\'ve used FedEx twice and had to pay customs £20 one of those times.
It
took around 3-4 days by FedEx, not spectacular. I got a delivery by regular mail in 5 days, and considering FedEx
costs more than 3x as much...

cheers,
so it seems
that the customs charges are pretty much random. i\'m not too keen on regular mail because i live in a small place
and the local postoffice and postman are kind of nosey - last time, i got a card through the door saying that there
was a package waiting at the p/office for customs duties. i collected it, and the staff all got very excited and had
a big discussion about it /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
when they did charge you customs
duties on the FedEx delivery, did the delivery guy just collect the money at the door when he dropped the package
in?

No, I got a letter
about a week after the delivery.
I think FedEx is probably the best option in your situation, but the cost does
sting a bit.

cheers,
i\'ll go for
FedEx then - I am just starting out with pheromones really, so I am still experimenting, so I\'ll make it a big
order with FedEx to make it worth it. There are lots more products I want to try

Fantastic,
after
ordering (by Fed-Ex) on friday, I actually received my order in the UK today (Monday). That\'s an awesome service
from Bruce and FedEx. I know that an order placed on friday wouldn\'t even have been sent by now from most other
companies. Thanks again Bruce.
