Sodding Customs!

£10.50 Fedex fee isn't too bad. Parcelforce is £13.50. I'm sure I had one that was around £18 a few years back.

I'm sure you can declare goods yourself, but then you need to deal with all the paperwork, which when you look at it from a commercial point, it's cheaper to pay the handling fee, unless you're dealing with lots of imports.

Yeah FedEx will send you a bill in about a month, happens every time
I now get everything from China sent with DHL, not only do they not charge you a handling fee(or whatever that £10 FedEx charges is), but they also pay the VAT and don't charge you!

Fedex are the worst in my experience. Very efficient.

Trust me DHL`s handling charge is also 10 GBP.

Ooops , UPS, used to have annoying habit of wanting payment on doorstep.

Trust me DHL`s handling charge is also 10 GBP.

really? I always get what seems to be a bill but when I phone up to pay it they say its already paid. Hmm maybe Chai chooses an all inclusive delivery option with them or something?

My bits from Chai are currently in France according to the FEDEX tracking, scheduled delivery 1/10/13...
