Guest Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 (edited) Just to let you know that MI5 and the CIA are carefully going through the cargo on the planes this week with a fine tooth comb You would never know they had even been looking for bombs ! There was no panic and everything was left undisturbed! And here is my bargain oldie of the week which I got for 38 quid ! The SAS decided to check weather my 45 contained Semtex ! It didn't and I got a full refund ! Thanks guys ! but seriously................ if you have any 45s on the way, be prepared for some squashed fookers very soon ! I am not having a go at them, but why can't they wear slippers or something when they enter rare record areas ? And why can't they put exploding shoes and printer cartridges on another plane ?

Dave Thorley Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 (edited) What concerns me more is you start getting packages, where customs say.... 'Whilst doing a security check, we found that this records had been under valued. Here is a bill for the true duty on this package' I know in europe, several friends have had their packages open, the respective departments have then reappraised the value and presented them with massive duty un-paid bills to get their record back.

I know this sounds incredible, but a friend in Germany had a package opened, they then found his Ebay account went back through his purchases and presented him with a bill on the asumed import back tax owed on all his purchases over a number of years and we talking a big tax bill.

It sounds incredible indeed, I mean they might have found out about his ebay identity by looking at an invoice inside the parcel, but how can they retrieve his previous purchases, especially when ebay.de is so strict about privacy etc... btw i am now starting to seriously worry as i have a 1000 usd record coming from the states, sent registered to avoid custom duties... guess i'll have to keep my fingers TIGHTLY crossed for a while...

Have had a couple in the last week. One cost £90 in duties and the other £50. American dealers are getting tight with their values for customs Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dean Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 A few parcels when home today. Don't know if it's related to security searches but I didn't think Americans did Irony?
