This is getting silly now
I have a small package sent from the USA via USPS express international post
posted on the 7th june went into GB customs on the 9th ( so pretty fast so far)
tracking no says it is still in GB customs fooooooking 5 days so far to read a label and decide how much vat to charge .
Its not important and I know I will have to pay something but surly we have some bodies doing some work there .

That's upset me. I'm waiting for a frame to arrive via usps. Just stripped down the old one hoping it will turn up this week. 😥

That'll be arriving with Parcelforce.
Unfortunately Customs take the Parcel as soon as it arrives.
Then put it back into the system when they're ready-and decided how much extra to charge you!
Sometimes its lighteningly quick.
E-mail them,ask.
