Hey guy's,
I'm really miffed with my latest purchase, being a modeler means this is a hobby which is recreational & meant to be enjoyable. I'm not a happy bunny though !!
I purchased a exactrail freightcar off ebay & paid my postage. I've got a ticket from the mail office here in the uk saying i need to pay £18.50 customs charges. Now i don't mind paying charges for things but i think they are really taking the P@ss when the charge is for more than the item is worth.
we have a saying in England " Rip off Britain " & it has really left a foul taste in my mouth. I think its a joke when they do this & wondered if anyone had anyway of doing a tax dodge & getting around this because i cant be paying for everything twice when trying to buy things for my layout.
Cheers,
Si
