Customs charges
« on: June 15, 2019, 10:54:33 PM »
I’ve just got a letter from Royal Mail to say they’re holding my WW DH.9 and want £22.26 up front.

It’s a gift effectively - won in the WWs Modeller of the Month competition...

Do I have any choice!?

Thanks

Yeah I think you are stuck Guy.

Come over to Florida where this does not exist. :)

Unfortunately WNW apparently are not allowed to send the prizes without declaring the cost. And it is enough for the customs to get interested.
