Page 1 of Die Hard Ultimate Collection - anyone else get a £6.99 customs charge :(

Got my Die Hard boxset from Play247 this morning, which had been opened by the w**kers at Mount Pleasant Customs and had a £6.99 customs charge attached to it.

BAH!

thats a bugger. i didnt but then again mines was from futureent. Do u have to pay it? or can u leave it

Play247 has dispatched it to me on 7th but I haven`t received it yet, I wonder if customs they have had there mits on it.

What day did Play247 dispatch it to you and the actual time you recieved it?

Call Play, they refund all customs charges,


The reason for the charge is due to the fact that their is no prepay charges option for play to use as they ship all R1 discs from Canada.

well it`s arrived, but i was at work, so i got a post office note stating i have to pay 6.99, oh well, it`s still a bargain...

Ok, I`m confused by this £6.99 charge.

The set costs £39.99
Tax is 3.5%
VAT is 17.5%

39.99 * 1.035 * 1.175 = 48.63

Which puts the charge at 8.64 (plus any post office fees).

So where the hell did they get 6.99 from? That charge technically means that they are valuing the goods at less than £39.99 ! This is very weird!

Rich

I had exactly the same experience......but to be fair,it was the first time in two years....

Yup, as I thought -the bas$^&d got me too. I ow the post office about £10.00.

well if play are going to refund it then i dont see the problem. oh and ur set will arrive a few days late. Its good that they are refunding the charges

Ordered mine from boxoffice arrived on 12th no problems was going to cancel but took the risk.
