Just think how much more of this there's going to be after we leave the EU :-)

There will be more old threads resurrected after we leave the EU?

Apart from why it's been revived, I've often wondered how someone actually comes across it in the first place.

The forum search engine will often throw up old threads in response to specific word searches.

Here's the page for a search of "DHL"

Not hard to find older threads in that lot...

But why would anyone want to do a search for "DHL" simply so that they can reply to posts made 13+ months ago?
If would be different if they were looking for recent posts to comment on and I can understand why people do that but commenting on threads that haven't been updated in well over a year?

You might ask the same of posters who can't use the quote function and reply to an earlier post without any reference to who they are responding to.

Probably because they don't realise they should simply make a new thread on the subject.

A lot don't check the date when a thread was last posted to.

Probably an element of mischief from some as well. There was a thread bumped earlier this month which was started December 13th 2013, it was continually responded to as if it was posted this year.

Whatever the case, I wouldn't worry too much about it..

Has anyone ever had an invoice from DHL for duty after the delivered goods, and with no pricing info on the packages. The invoice is for about 50% of what the items are worth and 10% of them were broken.
Also the DHL invoice is missing my road number so it's just pure luck it got here, and it is a reminder (the first one obviously never got here).

Goods Under £120 have no import charges, there is vat to be paid on some goods ie cctv camera the vat is currently 3.3%
You need to use the government import pages to find out which category your goods come under for vat charges

The last comment on this thread is nearly a year old.

I realise even the last reply is a few months old, but since people keep randomly adding to it every year, is there a way to get this thread locked?

Can't you see the irony in that comment?

Perhaps reporting or asking on site feedback,rather than bumping the thread!
