After the disaster I had with my last shipment of rods, I was really impressed with the latest parcel I got from Bill B. He posted it on the 20th October in Texas and I got it yesterday on the 26th October - not bad, eh? Even went straight through customs...

You Jammy Bugger Chris!
I always seem to cop VAT & a holding Fee on most things that I receive from the States these Days?
Quick Post too - Only Person who does the same time frame is Jess Freeby (Jess Bikes).

Excellent new Chris. Have you received my crank yet. I think I posted that about the same time (from the North East).

To get around charges at the mo ask seller to put it down as a gift and less than $25.00.

While I don't mind (too much) the VAT, I don't like having to pay parcel force £9 (it was something like that)
What I certainly don't like is having to make a 90 min round trip to hanger-poxy-lane where the depot is for this area.
