when was your SWT dispatched from DVDsoon?

Mine was dispatched from DVDsoon on the 15th Sept and I'm still waiting.

I got hit with customs on my 3rd order of a box set (Rocky Gift Box) I paid £10.86 if I remember right.

Did your packaging have a "lid" stuck on the top with a flap down the side?

Mine fell off!

If that's all you paid you shouldn't have got hit! That's well under the 18 pound limit. You should write to Customs and appeal because they should not have charged you.

I suppose this new crackdown from Customs was inevitable which is why I don't order items over £18 from out of the country

I've just been ripped off (sorry, charged) by PO & Customs for the first time ever. DVD Soon. Alec Guinness Collection, £26.00. There's an £8.98 charge on it!

[hddvdman]

my star wars box was mint!!

[Tardis]

Magicmushrooms I stand corrected. It was Alien Quadrilogy from DVDPacific that got hit with Customs and not Rocky from DVDsoon.

I think Tardis meant his customs charges were £10.86 rather than the price he paid for the boxset.

Mine was sent on the 15th too and arrived on the 25th with £7.88 in charges for it

[inzaman]

I too got hit by customs, just got back from holiday this morning and had a £7 odd bill waiting for me. The first time i have been caught when ordering via dvdsoon though.

[Tardis]

Finally got a card through the post saying a package is at the Sorting Office for which I know will be my SWT fron DVDsoon. Been hit with £7.88 Customs.

At least it didn't go walkabouts as I was beginning to fear.

Strange, I ordered my SWT from DVD soon and got it delivered a day after it was released with no custom charges.

[wither2000]

no charges for me either on the star wars trilogy. We all knew it was a gambol - amazon if you weren't feeling lucky and dvd soon if you were

exactly, it's always a gamble if it's over £18
