Uk Customs Are Definately Seizing All Gloves They Find - adee - 03-19-2010
Just had my letter to say that my glove I ordered from Freds Mid Finger has been seized and destroyed asA) It is an offensive weapon being imported into the UK contrary to the current priohibition on 'handclaws' in forceB)It was mixed or packaged with prohibited/restricted goodsC) It was not described accurately by the seller on the written declarationGuys - if you're in the UK, I wouldn't bother ordering ANY gloves from US sellers anymore. It's not worth losing the money. I couldn't really afford the glove, I had to pay over 3 months and now I've lost £100. FU(KED off doesn't even come close.FMF - not p155ed at you bud, I know you were only trying to help by sending it how you did.

Oh, and I've just spoken with them, as all parcels are X-rayed, it doesn't really matter what's on the label. If it looks like a 'handclaw', it will be seized under current UK prohibition laws, put in place to stop items of this nature entering the UK.Those were the words of the customs official.

Everything does. It's up to you if you wanna risk it, but personally, I won't be buying any more gloves from the US. I can't afford to take the risk, unless the seller offers a refund if it gets destroyed. And lets face it, who is going to do that?

i know some gloves still get in when ken sent me the part 2 that was destroyed he also sent a part 3 in a different package and i recieved that fine,its a risk but it depends on how much u want the glove,there isnt any glove makers in the uk atm and the guys in the states are makin some amazin and quality gloves at the mo, mark,fredmidfinger,chris(razorgloves) and creative nightmares are pulling out all the stops to give us all the most accurate glove thats around,its such a shame that its such a big risk to get them! oh yeah and daz when u sending that glove lol

Thanks for the heads up mate!I was planning on ordering a glove soon but seeing as there's a huge chance I wonte get it there's no point now, best save the money for somthing else then piss it away.Sorry to hear you couldn't recieve it, it's just one of the lousy risks we take in this hobby.
