RMweb Premium newbryford Posted August 7, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 7, 2018 Hmmm - I wonder if extra customs charges are liable because it's crossed so many borders? Good luck! Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purley Oaks Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 If the UK is planning to extradite anyone from Russia to Salisbury, perhaps they could bring the parcel here at the same time? https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/aug/06/uk-poised-to-ask-russia-to-extradite-salisbury-attack-suspects Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alastairq Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Stages 4 and 5 on that Parcel Farce list can be almost as long as the DHL odyssey itself.... Indeed....A parcel from the USA took but 2 days, from collection, to arriving Heathrow....then another 2 weeks for Parcelfarce to get it from Heathrow to my doorstep. I 'believe' Parcelfarce don't have the use of modern technology....certainly at local depot levels. Why they have to send a letter out [2nd class post] to inform the recipient of how much VAT & duty needs paying [not forgetting Parcelfarce's fee for the pleasure of doing sod-all it?] I do not know......Especially when other carriers can easily contact recipients be email, or even, text message? As a paying public, we are led by the nose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted August 8, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 8, 2018 Yep and all functioning well, very good condition although as I knew the steam loco needs a new roof making.

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted August 8, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 8, 2018 Oh they do look nice! By coincidence a DHL and a ParcelForce van just past me. Do courier companys buy their vehicles direct from the manufacturer with dents and scrapes preinstalled from new? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
