    Isn't that a beautiful shiny sparkly purple colour? That's the right colour not the camera flash!

    Arrrrgh! Bloody postal service/Parcelforce!

    My parcel left US on 29th Aug & only today says it reached the International Hub and hasn't moved! It really landed here on the 30th but they obviously lost it between the plane & the Hub. Also my parcel was dispatched from International Hub towards National Hub in an hour during the evening last time and yet has sat doing nothing all afternoon today this time!

    I want my Mammoths tomorrow!

    (Throws a tantrum like a 2 yr old!)


    I spoke too soon - they are now at my local depot ready for delivery today! Yeay!!
    How do you track your parcel from Taylors? I ordered on the 26th August and want to see where my parcel is!

    How did they send it? Standard mail isn't trackable, priority & express are.

    In your dispatch e-mail it will list a tracking number if you paid for one. If there is then go to https://www.usps.com and track it. If it has already left US then go to https://www.parcelforce.com and use the same American tracking no.

    I'm sad enough that I always pay for priority just so I can watch it come closer!

    OOOh Im pleased Ive found a forum about crocs. Bought my first pair bout 3 weeks ago and they are brilliant. I have black Caymans. Im on my feet for 12 hours at work and find them so comfortable. I broke my ankle several years ago plus have painful feet so they are a miracle. Saw the negative press about them yesterday but cant understand how rubber shoes can create static electricity. I want a pair of Endevours next.
  • Hi there. Those of you that have ordered from Taylors, does your bank/credit card company charge you extra for currency conversion? I assume your payment is in dollars?

    The conversion costs a tiny bit but nothing to worry about. I paid using my usual debit card. Just bought 3 pairs plus the fastest delivery from taylors for $133.97 and the amount showing on my online banking is £70 and a few pence. SO the answer is yet they charge you about £1.50 but it is still a very good deal. For this I go a pair of adult caymans, child caymans and Alices and very fast sevice (not used the fastest before).

    The fastest service left taylors in kansas within a few hours and left chicago airport the following night. it arrived the next day in customs and took about 5 days to clear and then came the next morning. However - it did clear customs with no charges.

    Thanks, just tracked it and it has been released from customs WITH a charge. BOOOOOO!:mad:

  • Taylor's obviously can't mark the parcel as a gift but they do tend to mark the "worth" of the parcel as less than it actually is which reduces any customs charges.

    Just to update again, I had a letter from Parcelforce today which says the charge is £16.54. It still works out cheaper than if I had bought the items in the UK!

  • Taylors have now got the adult mammoths in stock! Form an orderly queue . . .
