Guest Shuflie Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Got my bill, expecting 2 more! P I thought both your phones came in one box? Surely you would only have one bill, or have you been busy buying others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest joners Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 nowt here yet and I got mine delivered 7th Jan Same nothing through here, think that there is a slim chance that i might get away with it, had to drive through the snow and ice to get my N1 as DHL couldnt deliver due to 'adverse' weather conditions... pffff.... i made it ;) Anyway i asked the woman whom i collected the phone off and she said there wasnt anything pending on it. Still given DHL's usual shoddy service it could go either way! On a side note, my housemate just got a VAT invoice for a camera he ordered at the end of October! Suppose i'll just have to live in fear, or move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kruzkal Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Depends on the exchange rate ;) No sir. That means they have charged duty rate of 5%. I have spoke too soon as I have also been whacked with VAT and duty. I might be able to claim that 5% (£17.18) back with a few forms to fill. Still have to pay DHL first though. http://customs.hmrc.gov.uk/channelsPortalW...tyType=document Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DHL acting as your agent (for which they charge you for) should have queried this with HMRC, so if they have paid too much they need to claim it back themsleves. I would only pay them the vat plus thier handling charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest joners Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 My letter from DHL arrived today.... im sad, i thought i had got away with it for a minute! lol Still only got charged the same amount as everyone else here and i stupidly bought the UK adapter from them as well, so got out of paying a couple of quid maybe.

Guest metatron Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 (edited) Damn, as each day passes I lose a little more hope of escaping the VAT man ;( Its a strange one, any other parcel company I have used charges you first. They wont give you the parcel until you pay ... I find it curious DHL doesn't do this. I have had no paperwork in the parcel warning me of this, I signed, I took the parcel, and they want to invoice me weeks later ? curious how this stands. Not received mine yet, so will have to see when/if it comes. I got mine on 15th by the way. Edited February 4, 2010 by metatron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LadFromWales Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 It's all part of the "International Express" service. The papers are sent ahead of the plane so your package clears customs even before the plane touches down. And then its usually delivered on the 'next possible business day'. Apparently due to this method of clearing customs, we're more likely to be tax'ed as they know exactly what's on each shipment without even checking the packages. http://www.dhl-usa.com/IntlSvcs/detail/WWP...ices/AirFreight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest metatron Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Do they make you sign for it, or does an invoice just come through the post ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
