anyone else in the UK had packages seized by customs this week?

[Littlemorestealth]

Yea bump on an answer to what category

[GTB]

Stay away from sports shoes!

[Littlemorestealth]

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

[GTB]

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]

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

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

[GTB]

stickmade,

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

e.g one package-all shoes etc

[delboy]

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

[stickmade]

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.

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.

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]

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

[stealthmaster]

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

^ 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]

Then I can be a jackass
