For the people who have had successful packages, are your items clothing or something more specific?

Hey guys 1 of parcels got through last week fine, yet my recent one is a strange one, Parcelforce tracking states its in customs, EMS says cleared customs, yet recevied forms from the border force saying its siezed :( dam, what yah guys think?

Do you mind saying what catourgry of item it was that was seized?

Clothes etc?

Littlemorestealth 05-23-2011 05:24 AM

Yea bump on an answer to what category

GTB 05-23-2011 08:42 AM

Stay away from sports shoes!

Littlemorestealth 05-23-2011 10:17 AM

Were the sports shoes bundle packed and the boxes folded flat, or were they sent as sold in their original box?

GTB 05-23-2011 10:30 AM

i think fully boxed but i did not get it so i cant be 100% sure


why do you think fully boxed is a give away?

ShadyOne 05-23-2011 02:03 PM

Everyone should stop using EMS and start using Jimmy Saville. He would get the clothes through customs without any hassle.

stickmade 05-23-2011 02:33 PM

Clothes, shoes & accessories.. thats the category of goods that are being seized for me at the moment.

GTB 05-23-2011 03:22 PM

stickmade,

are your packages a mixture of items or all the same in one

e.g one package-all shoes etc

delboy 05-23-2011 04:49 PM

...and what quantity were you buying at once? How many seizures have you had?

stickmade 05-23-2011 07:40 PM

all the same items in the one packages. i've tried to get them throught in batches of 10. Thats the smallest you would want to order and still got seized. nightmare. Seems like they are targeting certain types of item, its like these are going through the scanner and being picked out on purpose and everything else just glides through. f uckers.

ShadyOne 05-23-2011 08:01 PM

If your supplier appears to be undervaluing the package contents, declaring it as something different, not filling the decleration form in correctly etc these can give customs a reason to check it's contents. These sort of packages will be target more during random checks.

stealthmaster 05-23-2011 08:21 PM

Are we still on this subject lol.

Stealth Master :clap:

GTB 05-24-2011 07:49 AM

stealth master....this subject will never die,NEVERRRR! :)

stickmade,pm me with what items you get through wi no hassle and what youve had stopped,

personally i think they are clamping down on the branded sports shoes,you know the ones:)

ShadyOne 05-24-2011 03:23 PM

Counterfeit clothing has always been targeted by customs in the UK. They may or may not have changed/improved their procedures.

stealthmaster 05-26-2011 08:25 PM

To answer all of your questions don't import "VERO" items and all will be well with UK Customs :).

Stealth Master :clap:

ShadyOne 05-29-2011 12:06 PM

^ GrannyTranny, I was doing a similar tit for tat thing last week, I realised that it achieved nothing for all people invloved. Instead of being rational, these arguments always end up being personal.

Littlemorestealth 05-29-2011 12:31 PM

That was way too much of a read.

Then I can be a jackass

GTB 05-29-2011 02:31 PM

ShadyOne 05-29-2011 03:46 PM

Thanks for the information.

GTB 05-30-2011 01:12 PM

put it this way,they cant stop every package coming through!

there will always be a way round this,supply and demand,if ppl want them,there will always be someone bringing them into the country big or small!

Littlemorestealth 05-31-2011 08:36 AM

Footwear is the biggest problem, I am pretty sure they are scanning packages.

There is a certain footwear manufacturer that is working with customs specifically to stop their product being imported. I've imported them myself, and their not fa ke, I have taken them into a House Of Fraser and had them verified!!

Manufacturers just don't like people jumping their chain of command. If they don't want the risk of grey imports they shouldn't mass produce in China.

quicktocalluk 06-05-2011 06:02 AM

I use a storage facility to keep my goods and 2 weeks ago uk customs turned up with the police to search one of the units,Apparantly the people at the unit had been importing goods from the far east,they took van loads of stuff away and searched the houses of the people,Another thing i found out was they had been buying from sites like trade tang, ali express and paying with paypal so they have now had paypal account suspended,Seems customs are definatly cracking down at the moment.

Littlemorestealth 06-05-2011 11:19 AM

I think the high street has been feeling the fact of people importing their own stuff. Prices seem to be way down than what they were last year. T shirts (big brand names) and jeans are all down by about 40%.
