      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 think it was my ex wife's doing, she never really saw the brilliance of the scheme…..

            That's a shame… Have you thought about giving up a finger or two, perhaps?..

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

                Won a vest from Lando on eBay… 38 €... Custom fees?.. 23 €... Just because the declared value was a bit too high (40 $).  😠 😠 😠

                      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.

                              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…

                                  In my area (America), it's always weight. If its heavy, I get charged. An example would be IH jackets, one per delivery, that shit is heavy. Same with heavy ass pants.

                                      random tale from the odd world of online shopping…

                                      orderd a spare part from a very well know online retailer on Wednesday via overnight express, came on Thursday, as it should. Yesterday to my suprise a package with the exact same content, same invoice and same shipping label including a identic tracking number showed up... happens... so now lets have a little quiz game, guess what came today?.... ....yeah right, an other one...... I'm now looking forward to Monday  ::) ;)....

                                          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  😞
