Why nothing ever goes how it should when i am involved is beyond me but something always finds a way of making me down ......
They have tried to deliver the wedding dress that i won but they hadnt covered the import tax of £30....now i know thats not alot of money but to a single income family who's other half is currently not working (even longer story) and a constant supply of nappies needed i just cannot afford to pay it
I have tried to contact the seller and explain and the only response i have had is maybe a friend could pay it for me ......:mad:
Where do i stand ??? Or should i just give up and write it off as more badluck
Thanks guys xxxx

Sorry Zoe, but if you have bought this it is your responsibility to pay to pay the import tax. If it is off Ebay then it will almost certainly be returned to sender (sorry - not sure when it is an import) and you should be able to claim the money back. All depends on how much you paid for it - £30 import tax is a lot to pay for a cheepie import, though it probably includes a handling fee.
We need more details for anyone to give you any worthwhile advice.What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0 -
