      Shipment Cleared Customs
      Your parcel was released by the customs agency.

      Guess we'll see in a couple of hours… Will be contacting UPS if I have to pay extra...

        First package of the new year from the UK. Got hit with a €22 customs fee. Great stuff that Brexit. 🙄🙄

        I don't believe that this was a package from us, was it?  If not, I would appreciate you saying so.

        We're working hard to try to ensure our EU customers don't see any changes in the way we ship to them, or incur extra fees on delivery, although we do expect there will be some "hiccups" along the way.

        If the package was from us, please send me details, we need all the feedback we can get during these early days.  As you say, Brexit is a real bundle of fun 😞

          So yeah you should've specified this wasn't an IH package…

          IHxUK sent my package yesterday afternoon. It arrived at 1.16PM here. No fees. Obviously no hassles. IH for the win.
          Thanks, IHxUK!..  😎

            Same here! Delivered within 24 hours instead of the usual 48. Thank you IH, well done.

            Having no destination, I’m never lost.

                I guess I should have specified that.

                  There are certainly a lot of them out there in my experience.

                        My collegue, who just retired, was diagnosed with leukemia over a decade ago… She has to have her blood checked regularly, but so far it hasn't been a real issue yet...

                        So here's to hoping your mom has a "mild" case as well!.. And yeah: FUCK CANCER. Really sorry to hear, goosehd.

                                    I would be lying if I didn't say I was just a little upset, but you have to take life one day at a time.  The shitty part is that she is about 600 miles away and across a border that has been closed for almost a year.  It would be suicide for me to go right now as their Covid numbers are worse than ours.  With my wife and two kids, I have to keep thinking about the big picture as much as it sucks!!!

                                    I miss the innocence of youth...

                                        I'm guessing our consent lies in the massive Terms of Services tabs that google downplays to the bottom right of the screen but it's a definite abuse of power and information. Social media platforms are even worse and have been selling our information for years….influencing buying, communication, and our time spent online. I deleted my FB years ago and just casually surf IG but I'm about this close to deleting that too. We do have Alexas in our house that we use mostly just for music but I'm not really pleased about them either. Occasionally an Alexa will spin blue like it's listening when no one says a wake up command. Somewhat disconcerting IMO.

                                        Not to hijack this thread but does anyone make a dumb phone with an iPhone or otherwise quality camera?

                                        To put this thread back on track, I wanted to say I appreciate all the leadership and forumites here and to say thank you for giving me a much better perspective during this pandemic! Much love from St Louis 🙂

                                          Personally, it does not bother me one iota if info is collected about what I do or want, and if I don't want to spend so much time online, I don't.  I don't need a new phone to help me do that….
