Right had a slip through the door saying I owe customs £11.87, more precisely £3.87, and £8 royal mail for the privilledge of giving that £3.87 to customs. After many a time arguing with Royal Mail bird, then Royal Mail happy indian chappy on the phone I finally got an address and serveral apologies and I have to send off loads of proof that my items where t-shirts, and not valids for customs charges. I have to send stuff off to refund the customs charges then once thats back I can try to claim the handling charges from royal mail. So after months of fuckng about I might get £12 back, they know there is no way in hell, I am going to be bother to fuck about that much. Evil or Very Mad

Anyway wind forward 2 seconds and I have opened my t shirts,

This was what ordered, what I got was a black t shirt with black print, so basically a black t shirt, I want to kill.

So I phoned them up and the yank bint on the phone tried to make out it was my fault, she said "well fallout grey is black", rant time Twisted Evil

I should be getting a new one through the post in a few weeks.

There were 2 they worked out about £21 each including postage and rape charge.

They are my favourite type of t shirt, geeky t shirts that only geeks would recognise (I do understand how uncool this makes me)

import VAT is applicable on goods valued more than £18.

Ironic you wrote that on the same day that some woman in a RM complaints line told me the cost of postage is going up. Again. Mad
