Ebay items from US still not arrived !

  • I had the same problem with a package getting sidetracked by customs, so it took four weeks instead of the more usual one to two weeks.
    the downside of this was that Royal Mail charge you to pick the item up form customs and then you have to pay the duty on top:mad:

    Sorry to butt in here, but H has just bought a book from US. Quite expensive but he thinks it is worth it. Please can someone say what is the threshold for customs duties kicking in ?

    As if the book wasn't expensive enough already !!
