The_Notorious_C_A_T Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Unfortunately with parcelforce, you have to pay the fee at the depot, well my experience with them. With dhl though, they send the parcel, then send you a letter. Not the smartest way of doing business really but a better one for me!Although mine cleared reasonably quickly like, few days I think it was. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ryan Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 when i got a few bits from RHD parcel force held it for a few days. Then i received a letter from them asking me to call up to the office to pay the import tax Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starletraje Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 phone the parcelforce depot its at. i had a parcel sent from the US 2 months ago and i still havent had a letter about the charges. if you dont receive the letter and dont chase them then the parcel will go back to the sender.
