Im sorry things worked out like this to be honest i insured it for that much so if it was lost i could build you another one and still refund your money.. If i didn't insure it im sure something would have happened .... If you have to pay customs which is total BULL$HIT.. it should only be around $50 bucks

That's ridiculous you have to pay customers to get your stuff. That's insane........

Don't know what it is lately but I have been having issues with shipping to the UK as well. Almost like they are not wanting to let gloves through any longer. I ship USPS first class or parcel with my gloves and they used to make it thought easily and quickly but I have had one customer say he never received his glove, another got it a month later, and one right now from eBay that says he still hasn't received it and I sent it out 2/24. Starting to make me double think shipping there anymore... <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/confused.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":confused:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"confused.gif\" />

Well on the plus side, I've spoken with Customs today and they said it's not being held by them. The delivery company have it and they will fwd details of the customs charges to me. Then spoke with Parcel Force and they said yes they have it, don't know where it is exactly but it's in their system somewhere and they deal it with it when they get to it as it wasn't sent priority class. They estimate sometime next week, so I'll keep you all posted <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"\" border=\"0\" alt=\"smile.gif\" />

Maybe the fact that it wasn't sent Priority had something to do with it. But then again... maybe not. I haven't shipped a glove to the UK for a while. If I run into any problems in the future, I'll make sure to let you know.Mark

Called arsehole force, er I mean parcel force,again today as still no sign and their tracking STILL says with customs. They said they have a backlog of cages come back from Customs and they have just cleared up to parcels rec'd at end of Feb. Mine arrived with them on 5/6th March, so they anticipate it leaving the hub on Friday and arriving with me earlynext week but they wouldn't guarantee.Just thought I'd update here as some of you said you were also having probs - that's why. Basically no staff left at parcel force main hub.If you've sent it priority post however,it should get through much quicker... I'm keeping my fingers crossed....
