Russoul1 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 hi all, just been to the post office to pick up latest 45 purchased from the US, after having my first ever cracked 45 damaged in delivery from the UK last week, I was more surprised to see this package not for the fact that in total it cost me more than £100 in postage and custom charges but the size of the package for a sole 45................ ok most probably most that collect have had bigger than norm packages but this was by far the biggest ive had.

Tlscapital Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I had exactly the same few years ago for a sole 7" record from the USA when P&P was still non discriminating to non USA residents and the complicity of the seller willing to fool custom on commercial value didn't force me to break the bank to take it home. So it's only the fun of it and not the expenses around it that made it stay in my souvenir. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
