Sent a package of 12 45s NYC to London customs value $30 Mailed 2/25 arrived 3/4 No tax, no 8 quid no nothing Result !!

Half way there, depending how long it faffs around in customs. I'm sure we all await the upshot, be nice to get a real world result.

Ok, we'll await the results. Be interesting to see how long it takes as well. It's not surprising really, he's probably sold a 45 or 2 to the UK and even with the 24/7 folderol over here B------T snuck into the news. It's not a big deal as a legit $30 45 + mail wouldn't normally set off any duties or PO charges, it's going to get interesting if they start opening and looking at top $ ones if someone puts $5 on it. I'll await the news when it drops It's all going to play hob with Auntie Ethel sending hand knitted gloves for their favourite neffies over

The way the mail is running has anyone got anything from the US>UK since The Deal? In a straight sale of cheapies not though EBay Discogs etc does the above apply? Using that calculator 4 or 5 45s total value $30 gets a VAT of GBP 7.92 and I'm assuming the Mail gets it's 8 for collecting it. Is that right?

Are things generally bottled up in London too? 4 days from my house to London, then nothing.

Anyone have any recent info on US to Australia ? I've got a few ready to go to.

Is this new, ie today? This was updated yesterday. I mailed a piece from NYC to UK on monday lunchtime, and the guy said there were restriction in place but not to UK or Europe. I didn't ask about going west. It's at JFK as of now. https://about.usps.com/newsroom/service-alerts/international/welcome.htm?_gl=1*galdek*_gcl_aw*R0NMLjE1ODc4Mzk4NjguQ2owS0NRand1TXJYQlJDX0FSSXNBTFdacklqRkJJcnA3WEw0elpoVkpmZHNNN1E0R1drU0lzQ2xMaVoyMERPNmtrNGZrR3ZlY0NjR0FOY2FBcDlKRUFMd193Y0I.*_gcl_dc*R0NMLjE1ODM4NjY0MTUuQ2owS0NRanc5Wnp6QlJDS0FSSXNBTndYYWVJVG01ZFpFcEg3ZWFEOTRUY1JaVkQ2S3h1dEh3SkF1VENhQ1BwcEZmcmZsbWhMeVdwU0xZTWFBdHpMRUFMd193Y0I.

FWIW I live in Manhattan NYC, we haven't got any mail since Friday and other areas in the city are the same I went down to the local PO to see if they had a package there that was held up, fortunately they had and the guy was willing to go dig around for it. He said their casualty list was "extensive", especially in mail carriers and I would assume it is the same in most major US cities / mail hubs. They have sorting guys etc out trying to do the rounds They are having to scrabble around for their own masks, gloves etc. I've had very slow mail going out of the city too. They all get a round of applause from me, and if it's still being tracked at all I'd cut them huge slack

Domestic mail very slow here, have a package been on the road from Georgia to NYC for over a week, says it's due tuesday. Likewise going out. That may be just because it's NYC I don't know. Not sure about international now, I haven't sent anything to UK for a month but it did alright then. Down the line it doesn't look good though https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/492377-trump-threatened-to-veto-stimulus-package-if-it-contained-bailout https://www.kltv.com/2020/04/10/us-postal-service-says-it-will-run-out-money-by-september/
