Customs

Customs

Hey my vci has finally arrived in the uk from DJTT and whilst I was expecting some customs charges I wasn’t read for the 70 quid (uk) they want! Anything I can do about it? Somehow lower the price? And hate to ask but what will happen of I refuse? Wil djtt get it back or will it just be discarded? Cheers guys!

Afaik there is nothing you can do about it.

Not sure what will happen if you refuse to pay it, doubt it will be returned to djtt, since you already paid for the item and shipping they will most likely just hold it.

They’ll just hold it up in a warehouse somewhere. Fuckin’ custom charges… Fucking Capitalism.

dress up as Natives and throw tea into the harbor. That’s what we did last time we got sick of british taxes

That’s the funniest thing i’ve heard all day.

In future when ordering from the store mail in and get them to mark it as a gift, this way you can avoid taxes. We only do this on users requests as if anything goes sour (not that it ever has) its the user is the one who has to deal with customs.

problem with “gifts” is that insurance doesn’t always apply.

non capitalist nations do import tariffs as well. dont be ignorant.

and some capitalist counties don’t charge import taxes (like Australia)

That is because Australia needs to import everything but Sheeps & Marmite :stuck_out_tongue:

ewww ! vegimite ftw :stuck_out_tongue:

That is actually really cool.
Import tax is ridiculous .
Stuff in general is over priced in UK as it is and when you find something at a good price abroad and take the risk to get buy it you get ripped off for Import tax.
If they called it “Made Up Tax” id be happier paying it than paying a tax for something that actually makes no sense.

Im aware of the reasons for Import Tax for bringing a shit load of stuff into the country but just for one item??? Pah !
