Possible win - £26.31 customs to pay!

Received a letter from Parcelforce saying they had a parcel to deliver from USA but I needed to pay customs charge first.
Can`t think of anything I`ve ordered, but it`s not impossible my 15 year old has bought something online even though he`s denying it.
Although I`m so grateful for all wins big or small, if it is a prize hope it`s worth the money.
Has this happened to anyone else before?
Anyway curiosity got the better of me and it`s being delivered tomorrow.

Thanks for replies, I was worried it was a scam, a lot of money to pay but if I just ignored it, I`d always be wondering.
Will update after delivery.0 -
Not sure if you enter the YOUR CAT / YOUR DOG comps
but this was posted in the IWIWIW section today, saying their prize was coming from USA

Parcelforce have just been and it`s a Turtlebeach gaming headset, selling on Amazon for £124.99!
A win but not from here, everyone who bought a mystery bag from Jinx.com was entered into a draw and I was one of the winners.
So excited, could never afford to buy my son a headset like this, so putting away for his birthday in June.0 -
