UK , Postage and customs forms

[Tabitha]

:buck2: alright this is deadly boring but which postage services have  uk sellers found good as I’ve had a request for overnight postage to the us and the cheapest I could find was 34 quid for 3 days { :idiot2:}

Similarly what do people put on those customs forms because I really dont want to write used women’s underwear…I think buyers might object somehow !!!

I use ordinary post as I can’t imagine anyone would pay that much extra when there are plenty of sellers in their own country! My parcels have taken 5 days, with Royal Mail, to get to the US and the buyers have always been very happy.

CN22 labels – hankies, ties, socks or whatever the buyer specifies.

I;ve had packages take as little as 5 days too, but as long as 4 weeks!!! Sadly its a bit haphazzard and its why i rarely post to the US.  I only have one regular Canadian buyer and I send to him purely because I like him so much.  We’ve already had one pair go walkies though.

grrrrr mad

I checked out postal addresses for me too, safe ones to recieve items and presents, and so many are rediculously priced
Oddly enough The post office is dirt cheap!!
I’ll be getting one with them ASAP

[lolol]

I just put “clothing”

[Tabitha]

🙂 cool , good advice about a receiving address because I’ve had a couple of people wanting to send me stuff and I really dont want to give out my home address .
Have also just been told if you pt gift on the customs form they dont have to pay tax the other side.

Dont believe everything you hear, that is an old wives tale. If it looks suspicious no matter if you put gift it can still get seized, opened and charged. However, charges are not normally incurred unless you yourself put a high value of the worth of goods inside.

So, to make sure it slips through the customs good, put a return dummy address label on it, mark the CN22 sticker as gift, socks or clothing, correct weight and put a really silly amount like £5.00 or £1.00 for the value.  If you start putting on value more than approx 15 dollars or 15 pounds, be careful.

Trust me I have done this for years and customs are a bitch, especially in Canada and Australia .. the more you play along with what they need to see rather than what they want to see, the more they will respect your package 🙂

[Tabitha]

aha! yes australian customs are very severe  :angry: my cousin got in trouble going home because my mum had packed him some food which had dried fruit in it!
I wonder if they were just peckish ! :cheer:

[Anna]

My Australian buyer reported that his package had been opened but everything was there when he finally received it. I suppose panties are less of a threat than sultanas?

[Tabitha]

well a nicely aimed sultana can do a lot of damage! I’ve just finished a night shift and every things gone a bit pink and fuzzy if you know what I mean  smt

Hands held tightly over my eyes  :laugh:
As a buyer who has received many item  😉 from overseas, i`ve had no problems at all with the customs people. And oh boy have some funny things been writen on the custom label, but so far all have came though without any hitchs.
Ok turns around and trys to find the way out before someone helps me by kicking me up the a**e  :cheer:

[Tabitha]

  :knuppel2: Tabitha quickly sneaks up and pinches mike’s bum.

Kicking peoples not lady-like mike  smt

[Kinky Kate]

Dare I ask what wierd things have been written on the customs label?  I need some fresh ideas, lol…-Kate

[Tabitha]

:laugh: I’ve taken to putting ’embroidered hankies’ on mine as the man at the post office knows I go to a sewing group that his wife attends !
lmao

[Kinky Kate]

lmao  good one! -KK

[Anna]
