    Did anyone here have to pay import duty/additional tax for the shipping to the UK ,I ordered a couple of the bootlegs and I received a card today saying that there is approximately £11.

    I was just wondering if it was just me who had been stung.

    Thanks

    Maybe i should start another topic "Daily update of not getting the euro boots":
    Today, the 25th of november, waiting 20 days until now....no euro boots :cry::cry::cry:
    They should be there already. I bought 16 boots before and they all arrived within 6 - 10 days! So what happened. Should i wait or should i write KUFALA again.

    No update on the Philly Boots yet. Greatness sometimes takes time.

    Also an update. We are working on a fix to our postage forms to limit any duties paid. We switched to a new system in August that auto-generates postage and customs forms so we need to fine tune it a bit.

    We have got word that there have been quite a few delays on delivery of some of the EU boots ordered in early November. Good news is a lot of people are now receiving them so hopefully those that have not received them yet will within the next couple days. If you ordered Nov 5th-9th if you do not receive them by December 5th pleases let us know and we will reship your order. You can respond to the link in your shipping confirmation email or email us at <!-- e --><a href="mailto:PJ@KUFALA.COM">PJ@KUFALA.COM</a><!-- e -->.

    Again I am sorry I don't have more news on the Philly shows. I do believe patience will be rewarded. Hang tight.

    KUFALA
    Peace

    Thanks for the update...I guess... ;)

    We'll continue to hang tight, but if it takes too long, we'll possibly hang ourselves!! :lol:

    Thanks again for the update.

    Cool. Sounds like they're really trying to get the Philly boots sounding as good as possible. Or there's something else going on.

    Either way, good news.

    Got the O2 boot and sounds fantastic. Although I am a little concerned about the two references Eddy makes about not coming back for an awful long time....

    Like to hear Manchester but I am keeping that in the shrink wrap for my mom for xmas. I don't mind waiting until Boxing Day to hear that! From what someone said earlier they were filming at Philly. I will have that on a dvd thank you very much!

    I hope UK customs are enjoying the bootlegs too....they must be making a killing....
    :D Rock on!!!! :D
    Seen Pearl Jam 4 times in London, once in Manchester, as well as an Eddie show at Hammersmith.

    I also got charged £11, which apparently "includes £8 handling fee for underpaid items". Does this mean Kufala didn't pay enough postage?
  • chimechime Posts: 7,839
    No the £8 is the handling fee that Royal Mail always charge for dealing with customs.

    Ordered Shepherds Bush, Manchester and London O2 on Nov 17th. Got both London shows in the post yesterday... :thumbup: :thumbup:

    ...but no sign of Manchester yet... :(

    ordered mine individually to avoid the 11 quid customs rip-off having been stung by that when i ordered a London 2007 t-shirt earlier this year. when i asked WTF was going on and why i hadn't been charged for other orders before they said that they usually checked about 1 in 3 packages and were 'catching' lots more now because of the exchange rate of the dollar to the pound. bastards! :x

    think you have to pay on anything with a value over 18 quid. mind you, the dollar's got weaker recently so more should be getting through...
    Oh yeah? Well, I've had about enough of morons and halfwits, dolts, dunces, dullards and dumbbells - and you chowderhead yokel, you blithering hayseed, you - you've had enough of me?

    I paid an extra £11.06 for the Shebu and O2 boots but at least they got here eventually. If you order them individually would you still have to pay the customs charge?

    I ordered Manchester and O2 on Nov 7th, just came on here to see why it was taking so long so it's good to know this is a known issue. I'll let you know if they turn up by December 5th.
