Wake
Super Freak
Probably because the size of the box
No, I got the clothing & head sculpt set a couple of months back, I Had to get me a DX set though. I think your DX set got caught in customs over here
I think Parcelforce are dealing with it, so I guess I just have to wait till I get a letter from them.
I know you tried your best Wake to get it through customs hassle free ( Putting gift on the packaging ) Really IDK how customs works? Some things go through customs no problem and other's are held up, I think its just pot luck TBH.
Anyways thanks for trying your best to get it through customs, I appreciate it buddy.
Fingers crossed I will get him eventually.
Marking the package as a gift sadly means nothing to customs in the UK anymore. If wake marked the customs form with the full 3k value your screwed! I pray he didn't as you'll get a customs bill of approx £400 if he did
Good job I get paid my wages this Tuesday.
Anyone else notice how the DX sculpt is now on ebay:

Funny how he says "RARE!" as if his recasts are. But clearly he's not the kind of guy who is above lying through his teeth. A thief and a liar.
But if Wake valued the figure at $50, & somehow the post office slips up & somehow "loses" the figure, that would be a mess when trying to get compensation I'm guessing.Anything over £18 in value gift or not is eligable to be looked at for customs charging. They love packages from the US cos they know alot of people buy high price goods on the cheap attempting to circumvent VAT. Charges are 20% of total value declared plus the shipping charge (yep they count that as part of the purchase price). After all that they stick a handling fee on £8 if sent regular 1st class £13.50 is the item is sent priority. I get hit all the time sadly. If Wake marked the package as being worth say 50 bucks you'd likely get a £25 charge all in, but if he declared that full 3000 man.....

I'd simply declare full value & let Shells McMoneyBags handle customs
I had the same situation when I sold fullset Bill to UK. I sent him without the full declared/insured amount. I worried about it the whole time. I trusted the buyer though, just not the shippers, LOL. Arrived no problems, although it sat in customs 4 days.
it's a secret until release
