CarrionCrow: Think I've seen too many movies with the joke of customs agents strip-searching people.
That's the first thing that came to mind, along with the follow up of telling you to forget the package and get the hell out of there. ;)
PalioDeMonte: This time they are only after my money and want to collect taxes for my cosmetics - so no danger on that behalf ;)
They just told me they might charge taxes on the real value abd not on the discounted price I've paid - annoying, but we're only talking about a few dollar (aka a game from the promo ;)
They're quite fast today. Should be done in a few minutes and then off to work - only five more workdays in my old job!
You're lucky...
I bought perfumes on a french website lately, and nowhere they said that the stuff came from US... only a little line in tiny characters in the "terms and conditions" (you know, the boring infinite stuff that absolutely nobody ever reads !!), informing that you "might" have taxes to pay "if" the stuff came from abroad... but absolutely no information about the amount, % of taxes, or whatever... So, I ended with an amost 112 euros of perfume order, charged with... almost 30 euros of taxes to pay, because the f*cking parcel came from USA !!! ):-O .... I was furious... and nothing I could do (but ranting a lot), because by ordering on their website, you agree with their terms and conditions...
LaPtiteBete: Yep, same for me... I hope DD has some plans, because I have some obstacles looming... ! :-\
moonshineshadow: I'll give you some *supporting hugs* :-)
I'll give you some too !!!
**Big supporting and cheering hugs** ... we're stronger together !! ;-p
FearfulSymmetry: I hate those freaking taxes. A year or so ago I got a package worth fifty dollars and they forced me to pay twenty-five euros tax on it. So I stopped ordering from the States, because it's just not worth the risk.
Hey everyone, are you all doing good today?
Just like me... except that I wasn't aware that the parcel went from USA :-(
How are you doing, Fearful ?? :)
**Good morning happy hug !**
