Dammit, just checked the parcel tracker and the package is being held in customs. More delays and fees by the look. I checked the Border website and says anything over 1K. My Blades were over 1K and they got through. By the time they send me the declaration form and get their act together ... bugger it.

Yeah that sucks. Expect about 15% tax.

 

[Toby]

Anything over 1k? That's not bad. It's anything over £18 in the UK!

Sorry you have to take the hit, Adam.

Ahh, fudge. Just wasn't expecting it.

Woah that is rude.

cheers for the commiserations lads .

Haven't you guys left the UK yet?

My next ordered I'm requesting to separate shipping boxes. Try and avoid paying taxes.

 

[stocky]

Yeah, 10% gst and 5% some other crap tax.

 

[Toby]

Ahh, fudge. Just wasn't expecting it.

20% for us as well (believe on the combined product/shipping cost). And an 'admin' fee on top, just to kick you in the nuts when you're down!!!

Not yet, but if tax breaks on custom chip orders becomes an independence policy, I'll be voting 'Yes'. Fuck Trident.

 

[detroitdad]

I like it so much my sample set will be about 700 chips

I was close.............800+ sample set

 

[Phantom]

Okay, that is a slug in the guts. $515AUD duty, tax and admin fees for my chips to be 'released'. Its like a ransom demand. "I'm gonna need more than 48hrs to come up with money, ya gotta believe me!!! I won't involve the cops, honest!!!" Gee whizz All they needed was a sawn-off and balaclava emblem on the form.

Now to come up with the dosh. Man, I was happy about these, now I just feel ill. Sorry gang, will get them soon, and get the samples out asap after that.

Tip for young players - get two boxes with separate invoices, which 'somehow' are under $1KAUD.

Damn mate. Big order? Mine was like 200-300 iirc

Yeah, with the extra items from all over the place, I thought it would be easier to have everything sent here, put it together and post out with one postage cost per person, but I didn't even factor in the customs hit as I have never imported anything before that drew them in to the picture. Oh well, :-(. live and learn.

I'm happy to chip in the tax costs for my sample.

 

[doakwolf]

Oh mate, this sucks big time. $515

I'm definitely ordering in two sep. boxes as Stocky's suggested. As if they're not expensive enough already for us Aussies at the moment!

 

[Phantom]

Hey all, how would people feel about an extra $3USD to help me out with getting these chips out of 'lock-down'? I have done the sums and worked out that over 25% of the chips are samples, so worked out the figure over the number of samples.

If you are of a mind to help out, that would be great, but no probs if not - will still obviously send out the samples .

Let me know. Paypal adandsarz@gmail.com

...

Huh?

 

[stocky]

I'll send PP tonight mate.

 

[doakwolf]

PIF. Keen to see these chips and the secret bounty design

 

[Phantom]

Bless you mates

 

[Ghoti]

Will send tonight as well. I know the pain! Here in Austria I think it's anything over €100, and the tax varies between 20-30% depending on the type of product. My wife ordered a box of tutus from China last year (she's a dance teacher) and I had to pay over €600 when they dropped them off.

 

[Gear]

Hey all, how would people feel about an extra $3USD to help me out with getting these chips out of 'lock-down'?

Not even a question. Funds sent!

 

[Phantom]

thanks so much guys, what a crew

 

[Ghoti]

Funny Gear posting right after me. I just received some labels from him (look fantastic BTW) on Tuesday and it's the only poker-related package I've gotten which has dodged the tax. Couldn't believe it. Everyone loves Canadians.

 

[Don Clay]

Will send shortly
