So my A16 arrived just fine, although they're still waiting for a signature. But beyond that, I got a notification that an import fee of 24.40 GBP needed to be paid first. I tried paying it myself, but it was declined. When I called UPS, they said that I can't actually pay it due to the way it was shipped, and that it's the recipient's responsibility. They said that's generally always the case though when things are exported and imported.
It seems like it had just cleared customs at 5:33 PM, and I'm not sure if they actually tried to deliver it yet or not. If so, no one would have been there to receive it. Hopefully I don't get grief over a measly $30 USD and that James just pays it (he told me neither of us should have to pay any import fees, so I don't know if this is going to be unexpected on his end) and just asks me to send him money via PayPal. Would be really ironic, after stressing out about getting the customs papers worked out correctly, and making sure I did everything right on my end, it arrives only to get hung up on something like this.
Already emailed him Monday when it shipped, and told him that it was estimated to arrive today, but that I kind of expected it to be there Thursday or even Friday. So he at least knows it's supposed to be there sometime before the end of the week. Whether or not he actually read that email is another story though.
edit: At this point, I don't even care how many weeks, or even months it takes for me to get mine back (OK, I do, but not as much as this) just as long as I know that it's actually inside the Smyth building.
