Depends if its Surface (1 month) or Airmail (7 days),

If Customs gets it you'll get charged Vat and Royal Mail (who will take over delivery once it gets to this country) will charge around £4-£8

Ganon, speaking from my own experience: My item sent via USPS with tracking number, this number you can track progress from hub to hub across US. This number can then be used on the PacelFarce website (I call them that cos once they left a package in my bin and the bin men collected that day!!!!) Once PF have it they will send you a letter saying that they have your package and that it has charges to be paid.

They day my PSP came in to PF i checked the tracking and it was with them at 4am, they will require you to pick it up as the Unions don't want their drivers to handle cash/cheques etc. So if you see it has arrived at your local depot call them, don't wait for the letter. You will need to pay VAT on the item and VAT on the carriage cost as well as a £13.50 charge from PF for passing through customs on your behalf. It is not a duty item so you won't get charged for that.

I bought off ebay too, questions: what service did they use/charge for? Do you have tracking number? if you have track number go to http://www.usps.com/ if it is still in US you will prob get in 2-3 days. if in UK check http://www.parcelforce.com/portal/pw this should only take about 2 days to get through Customs and then through the International Hub to your local PF depot. It won't go via your postie as the package is too big.

Hope this answers you questions.

i dont hace tracking number coz its coming by usps express not global
i hope royal mail get hold of it instead of pf

How much P&P did you pay them? Mine was £24 P&P and was shipped EMS 3-5 days $35 which is about £20 plus package and did have a tracking number.

Have they told you that there is no tracking number? You said it is coming Express, not global?!? the only express service they have is Global Express, the rest is airmail.

And it will still be ParcelFarce because of the size.

I believe it is up to 4lbs in weight, check charges http://ircalc.usps.gov/intl_speed.as...nds=4&Ounces=0

btw mine was posted on 30/03 and arrived 04/04, bang on time. If PF had their way and i wasn't on the ball it would have been another 2 days!!!

its coming by airmail i think
and shipping was $19
and yeah ive been told in eamil there is no tracking number.
is the vat calculated by value of psp or weight?

[Kpow]

VAT based on Value and includes shipping cost i believe, check with HMCE on their helpline number, the web site is very confusing.
