Random Rants
-
Here's a rant I have been harbouring for ages. When I did have my toes amputated, I wanted to keep them and go fishing with them. Just imagine the headline - "Man catches Pike on his own toe". When I can round from the anaesthetic my toes had been destroyed - the bastards…..
-
You sure the surgeon wasn't also a keen fisherman?

I like it, we Brits have been eating fish fingers for years, it's time for G to reverse the trend.

We need a thread where you mark down that value for various places…or a list would be good too...I always tell everyone $20 for Canada.

Won a vest from Lando on eBay… 38 €... Custom fees?.. 23 €... Just because the declared value was a bit too high (40 $).
I'm gonna start a school where you Yanks learn how to fill out custom forms correctly...
Seriously, that is bullshit. $40 is not too much to declare. Anyhow, my apologies. And 'yank" this…

Agree.
Getting charged a 70% customs fee is a bit obnoxious.
-
I can't be party to this conversation…...And I would prefer that a thread was not started. I hope you understand......
Completely understood.

Within North America, generally $75 is the limit before you start getting hit with duties. I'll agree with L on this, though; for international shipments you can't go much lower than $40. (Anything lower than $40 and I have no doubt the customs officers will get suspicious and inevitably deduce for themselves the total value of the parcel.)

Hmmm, sounds like Belgeranian Customs decided to re-value your package for you…

I have started a thread here:

random tale from the odd world of online shopping…

Had a similar thing happen about 5 years ago with a (don't shoot me) Abercrombie and Fitch backpack, I received 5 in 5 days, nothing for a week, then a further 2. Bizarre
