Letter from Manuacturer
 

I had a couple pair if boots seized by Uk customs a few weeks ago and opened a letter today regarding the seizure.

One part is from the manutacturer telling me the goods are "£$% and that they are being seized. They want me to sign of and agree to the destruction of the goods. It says i wont hear from them again. Do i sign it an send it back?

They also asked me to let them know where i purchased from.

It also comes with a letter from the border force located in the city it entered customs UK. I have noticed that most of my parcels come through via the same city. Should i change up address here? Or nothing to worry about because it was such a small order seized?

You're unlikely to have any problems if it was a pair of boots, for all you know they were real when you ordered them and the seller then sent you ⊗⊗⊗⊗ ones. Was the letter sent registered and did you have to sign it? If not, you could throw it in the garbage and claim you never got it.

Exactly - don't respond, don't do anything - boots are gone.

Would you keep using this address?

It's not recommended, but you can. I've had items seized and kept using the same address. Just wait a little and use a different shipping company. Like if it got seized by DHL use EMS the next time.

Ignore the letter. I would change the address for a few months.

Think i could get away with changing the address around slightly?

Or do they get you by postcode?

door number and post code would be how they log you.

Don't suppose you would know whether or not this is true.

If you have a seizure at a block of flats, does that automatically blacklist the entire building as they share the same postcode?

That would seem unlikely but you can never be sure with customs - a government-type of paypal...

unlikely....

I mean if it was some serious s**t contraband, your neighbours were doing then possibly
