Priceless.

No need to worry, my amp was with customs for 4 days. And be prepared to fork out VAT - if its ParcelForce handling the item then they won't release it until you pay up

They are probably trying to work out how much duty & tax to apply, rather than checking the hard drive. They may not charge anything, but if they do, watch out for the carrier slapping on a handling charge. I got a watch from Japan a while ago, customs wanted 22 quid, and royal mail slapped on 20 quid for collecting it on their behalf !!

I got this message from USPS for the delivery of my Imod

Attempted Delivery Abroad, August 23, 2007, 2:13 am, GREAT BRITAIN

May be someone is trying to burgle my house.

It seems more like customs forwarded your iMod to branch near you where you will have to pick it up or have to declare the true value.

Erm ... think that the time is probably local time in US so about mid morning UK time - sounds more reasonable!

My iMod arrived yesterday with the silver dock cable from Ken after a week of transit. No import duty to pay and it sounds as sweet as pie!

You should also be able to track the item at parcelforce using the same number.

Thanks Boatman, I was enable to view it on parcelforce website. It's been held with charges according to the website.

What shall I do? Go to the depot and pay? Or wait for delivery possibly tomorrow?

 

[The Boatman]

You will get a letter from Parcelforce with a reference number on it (not the same as the tracking number), asking for money. Ring the number on the letter and quote the reference, and pay by card over the phone. The parcel will arrive the next day.

If the letter doesn't turn up, ring Parcelforce. They won't be able to do anything without the number on the letter, but should give you the number of your local depot, who should be able to take your money.
