another place selling heat clamps

Just a thought - with the fees etc. included, you're only saving about
$15 buying from this place rather than from Doc or HairCandy.
Given the trouble that you seem to be having thus far, what would
happen if one or more of the irons was faulty? Or if there were
problems with the shipping? Customer care doesn't seem to be of
highest importance here, and personally, I'd rather spend the extra
$15 buying from a reputable source.

Sorry if I'm pissing on your chips here, but I'd hate to see anyone
lose money like this. Not that I'm saying you definitely would, but it's
worth considering.

Actually, Sam, we're saving about $40 each this way.  An iron from Doc plus shipping is about $108.  We're looking at $65 each.  If it were only $15 difference, I'd buy from Doc (or Kristin...but I want temp control, hun).  I will ask Doc if a bulk order discount is possible.

I can't help it...I'm incapable of buying anything full-price.

UPDATE: the irons are fully US-compatible (plug, voltage, etc.)

Hey there SAS, pm me the amount and I'll reimburse you chick, I wasn't aware of that either xxxxxx I've just been charged $30.00 dollars customs this end to get the hair, had a post office card waiting for me on my mat last night saying I had to go to the post office and pay it before they would let me have your package - bummer! xxx

Hi there Jenny, basically if someone sends a package to the UK, the person receiving it in the UK has to pay customs on the item if it is goods to the value of $30.00 or over or if it is a gift then to the value of $65.00 or over.  I personally think its disgusting having to pay this so when I purchase stuff from the USA for example when I get my hair from Ebonyline, I've signed a disclaimer with them so I just require them to provide proof of posting and that I don't require any insurance because if they send something out to me and I require insurance, then they have to put the amount to be insured on the front of the package, this is what customs look at and this is what you get charged for, then I don't have to pay customs because there is no value on the front of the box to be insured.  xx

I totally forgot to tell Kristen and SAS when they were sending me the hair and clips so I've had to pay customs on both xx

OMG!! OMG,,,,,,,are you kiddin' me!! I can't believe this!!

Amanda, Hun you owe me nothing girl!! No way!!

I deliberately ticked "gift" with card & letter.....so you would not
have a customs issue!! That is CRAZY!!!
I can't believe they did this!! OMG!! I'm so mad!!

If you tick merchandise.....like most companies do, then
customs are likely to put a charge on it.

I sent one of my bridesmaids her dress to have her fit it in
Scotland before she came out to my wedding in the States. I
paid $500 for her dress then customs put a 117 pound charge
on it at her end, I ticked no boxes on the ticket, and they said
because I had the original tags on the dress, it was charged as
new merchandise.
The guy at the post office told her to tell me next time I send to
the UK to always tick the "gift" box and they would never
bother you. I have done that always in the last 5 years and my
family have never had to pay a customs charge ever.

They stop packages at random.....it's total crap!! They are only
supposed to charge merchandise items not gift items.
I can't believe this!!
Amanda, can you dispute this at the Post Office?

Amanda, I just read your post.......I never wrote a $$$ value on
your package at all. Did they open up the packet?

Amanda~ Check your PM.

You should have it now....I will resend again!!

Now, I'm thinking girls we are probably going to get custom
charges for these irons too?

What do you all think now?
This has totally thrown me for a loop here.....I don't know what
to think.

Let me know girls what you think about the customs issue, as
Sensual said they had no idea about us getting charged
customs fees on our end. I have always have to pay customs
fees from India each time.

Ive never been charged a customs fee on any of the hair supplies that Ive ordered from my Korean supplier. But I can tell you that he always markes my package as "Sample"(or something to that effect) and I can recall the value being wrote on the package as a small $ amount rather than the actual price that I paid.

I wonder if this is something new that customs has started doing? I have a package that is about to be shipped from my supplier by the end of March, I guess Ill let you know what happens with my shipment!
