A few months ago I ordered a few bits from the US and now I got a letter from FedEx wanting 27.60 from me

I paid quite a bit for the delivery so why are FedEx wanting money from me? Can I ignore it and if they contact me again tell them to ask the seller for it?

 

mabye vat or customs duty

 

probably the money you should have paid for import duty.. i wouldnt ignore it.. customs will be on your case as well otherwise im sure

 

Yup, be import duty matey................

 

It does say Duty/Taxes charges on the letter. I thought it was up to the seller to pay for all the postage costs if they tell you the price it gonna cost and you pay it?

What will happen if I ignore it? Will I get a court letter asking for it or will they try to contact me again?

thanks

 

fedex will hound you forever,they use very heavy handed tactics,and are total f**jking arseholes,best thing is to pay it,but then never use them again.

 

customs could just enter your house any time and take the value you owe them...

more powers than the police!

Its your responsibility to pay it, not the senders.

You are the importer, although why if it was a few months ago they are now only just chasing you for it is a mystery to me.

Ignore it at your peril.

Buying stateside can initially be cheaper but does have hidden costs to be added sometimes - always worth considering for future.

 

Yup I ordered some clothing from the states and got stung for £40 on Tax
