Customs got me!!

[MichelleDen]

Got a letter today......

I got slapped with $60 customs fee!!!! Its weeks since I got the package... weird.. Can they really do that? So ive payed $166 for a mini pcc kit....

No more ordering from US.. Now I have 2 UK vendors who dont like the kr8... At least cs is spot on with one of them...

 

[RB37]

That sucks... I am sorry

 

[Frick]

Ouch. Sorry to hear that. Was there any customs paperwork when you received the original package?

 

[lo thatch]

OUCH! So sorry.

 

[MichelleDen]

Thanks guys, no nothing. I even wrote in here that there were no signs of it beeing tjecked.....was so happy.... buu

Bummer, Michelle. Doesn't seem right, or fair....just way too expensive. Hopefully, Bloog will work out that EU distributor soon.

That sux!
Did you have prefilled cartos in that order as well?
Apart from their "death by taxes" attitude, if the shipment contained nicotine they shouldn't have released it at all, so i maybe you got a break (a small one, but still a break!)

Damn, That's insane. That's exactly why I don't order outside of the country. That is legalized robbery.

I remember I sent a very, very expensive phone to a friend inside the U.K from the United States -
I valued it at $600 not having ANY idea about customs fees, she got slapped with a pretty huge bill.

Dumb.

When I also got raped with 89€ in customs taxes and fees last week, they classified my BMF cartos as ink.

No nicotine at all. only a 5 pack emtyes.
Mydad ordered two hole ultimate kits with nic carts and didnt get any after letter.

My letter is from fedex, marked customs and taxes.
On the line where it says what its classyfied as, theres nothing written..
Only info is the value of package.

I think I'd try to fight that.

probably happened when you were copying/pasting. Go look and see if that is there in the sig. settings and just remove it.

To compare my costs with what you guys in US would have to spend... My shipping fee and customs fee is equivalent to .. hold on now..... 4 ekstra batts and an ekstra pack of carts.

YOu could buy 2 packs of carts, a pcc and 6 batts for the amount ive spent to get the pcc kit.... sheesh..... totally bummer!!!
