JJ Quick Question

[Metier9]

JJ just a quick one if i order Ranma(all 4 box sets (20 discs in total) will it be under the 2kg limit?

[JunkieJoe]

Just barely

[sanosuke]

JJ are you sure that customs will believe that a 20 disc package is worth £20 or less? (thats $40 canada money) to be honest i usually dont risk any more than 10 discs.

[JunkieJoe]

well i declare it like 30-40.. the package itself is not that big... its all about it sliding without them taking an interest in it... i dont declare it as 20 dvds ... i just put down "dvds"

[sanosuke]

i might have to take a chance then to save me some shipping money, but as far as i know any package of value £20 or greater being imported into the uk from outside europe is charged 17.5% v.a.t and a £4-6 service charge that goes in the evil pockets of royal mail. i suppose if its light enough then it might be able to sneek through without gettin scopped but if they lift it then they are gonna be suspicious of a £20 price tag and probably have a juke inside.

on a lighter note, whats the most amount of discs anyone has ever ordered into the uk without gettin taxed by those scummy post office fuckers? (sorry im bitter cause hate me)

[JunkieJoe]

hehe, UK clients get nailed only if their pacakge is over 2kg most of the time... i guess on rare occation its possible to get under 2kg box taxed too

[sanosuke]

are you serious? looks like ive been giving you extra shipping dosh for nothin then, suppose you deserve it, keep up the good work!

[JunkieJoe]

what do you mean extra shipping dough? the additional 4 for internatioal orders is requirement, if your order 1 dvd or 10 ;p

hehe go back to math JJ..

2 orders of 5 discs each.. instead of 1 order of 10 discs.. Means he paid shipping twice when he could of got away with once.. ;o)

[JunkieJoe]

heh it doesnt matter ;p I loose money on internatioal shipping either way hehe

[Metier9]

if its grater than £18 = import tax.

[rav96]

Forget that i got nailled £25.35 by UK Customs

My order Weighed 2.65Kg (thats what it said on the package- bt JJ says it was over 3Kg???)

anyway British Customs will Have your House if they Could!

GRRRRRRRRR

[JunkieJoe]

rav, i said that you need to keep packages below 2kg to keep it away from customs... if its 2.65 or 3 it doesnt matter ;p

[sanosuke]

[rav96]
