lost frame?

[spinmaster]

Been tracking a frame i got from the states, cleared customs late last night and says a delivery attempt was made this morning at 5.43am. Yet no card has been left to say so or saying where i can collect it from. Frame was sent USPS and i've sent the seller an email asking if he can find out where it is. Should i be worried?

It's more likely at Parcelforce or on it's way there , those details are normally ahead of themselves . They will attempt delivery soon or send you invoice for VAT/tax firstly . 

[spinmaster]

yeh i thought parcelforce normally leave a note saying a delivery was attempted. can't wait for the Tax invoice. lol

You might not get caught for duty , fingers crossed  .

hope so, although it has been in customs since friday. i guess that doesn't mean i'll still get stung though.

If it has been at customs for a while parcelforce will be writing to you requesting you pay the charges, if it sailed through chances are your ok.
what was the frame dude? (just being nosey)

i ordered frame from states and it sat at customs for 2 weeks and i never got a card to say it was here. it was only after getting tracking number off seller did i find out where it was.

I know someone that this has happened to a few times, he always ended up getting his stuff, but did have to pay some sort of charges. So if I was you i wouldn't worry about losing your frame, but brace yourself for the charge!!!!

how did you end up getting it?

[oberonspacefruit]

Give parcel force a ring, the same thing happened to me, no card, but it was at the local office.

[spinmaster]

cheers, will try that. 

[spinmaster]

just rung them and they've got it.  got to pay £33.76 as well.

[oberonspacefruit]

lol...yep, thats what happened to me.

[spinmaster]

at least i know where it is now anyway.

Could be worse

In my experience it comes down to what the sender records on the customs declaration as to whether you pay charges.

Just had a 400 dollar frame from the states and the sender was cool and marked its value as 100 dollars on the declaration and i got no customs charges.

[spinmaster]

yeh i was expecting a lot more than that tbh, i was expecting nearer £80 or so. reckon i got away quite light on that one. only been caught out on a pair of wheels a couple of years ago but normally i usually get stuff fine from the US. Will try and get out there today to pick it up.

[spinmaster]

all sorted now, went and picked it up from the depot.
