I usually buy over half my Christmas gifts overseas, from the US, Hong Kong and China, and never in 10 years have I not received an item. This year the dollar hasn't been so good so I've sat on my bum and bought online from the UK and it's all been delivered really quickly. <br /><br /> I'm really pathetic with getting in gear and writing my Christmas cards - I always post them on the last possible date (if not the day after!) and they always get there in time. <br /><br />My biggest gripe are UPS who don't have a pick-up centre anywhere near and I have no choice but to sit in all day waiting for them to show up (grrr to Apple).MrsWhttp://clinicallyfedup.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-804194858842522280.post-36728433709135020312009-12-12T10:39:55.982+00:002009-12-12T10:39:55.982+00:00Slugs, absolutely, the customs plus service fee is...Slugs, absolutely, the customs plus service fee is another thing that has caught us out big time this year. I don't know how they justify it - is it to discourage international purchases?cartsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443437791014670129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-804194858842522280.post-12765162438851743152009-12-12T02:07:39.955+00:002009-12-12T02:07:39.955+00:00Don't get me started on Royal Mail!!!!

I would only add custom charges to the list. £8-10 just for a service fee because I have to pay customs ( after sales tax was already paid in the country of origin) is highway robbery.Slugshttp://www.slugsontherefrigerator.comnoreply@blogger.com
