bee_ Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 I had to pay £56 for an item worth $400, so maybe £65/75? It a good idea to ask the seller to mark the item as low value, if it's under $40 you don't have to pay anything (too late now ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the courier going to ask for it at the door when he delivers it?Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
