Aint it exciting! Ive been watching a package on its way. Its been through Memphis, uhh huh hu! and now into stanstead.

Arrived for clearance, then released for delivery! Does that mean no charges from the vat man? please please....

[andyb]

Left their ramp now, hre before Mon 1200hrs.

If required or added, How do you pay tax in this situation? Do they contact you by phone, email? or do you have to pay when it arrives at your door?

[andyb]

My bits are now in Leicester from stanstead.... shame really drove by my front door!!!!

[Paul James]

Usually pay when delivered in my experience. You might be lucky but the best way to avaiod the taxes is to get the sender to describe the goods as "replacement parts supplied under warranty".

On another note we've just heard that one of the thieving scumbags who robbed my Mum twice earlier this year went down for 7 years. Guess that means 18 months in real terms but at least the piece of trash is off the streets for a while.

Nicked any untaxed Pikeys lately ??

[Road Runner]

Well at least the police caught them and prosecuted Paul, I remember your post when the crime first hapened. I Surrey they just get a slap wrist and let them go.
hope your Mum got over it ok.

AndyB - it's a bit harsh mate but for my sins I have to fix every man and his dogs computer and install all sorts of crap. Part of the job really.

Did you watch the rugby, my keyboard is flooded with tears ..
