Customs fee's are a fucking joke. Fair do's if your importing loads but there should be a much lesser charge for single personal items.
I didn't get charged anything on sneaks I've got from japan, thought it was a safe option as the customs declaration was all in japanese, been propa mugged by fee's ordering from the states though

Makes no difference.
If the value for the insured contents is more than £15 now, lowered from £18 (yeah, thanks), then it is liable for VAT, anything over £135 is liable for Duty as well!
*Edit. Gift does seem now to make a difference from outside the EU.
The VAT limit is raised to £40. (small yay!)

1 out of 5 clients will pay on time... the rest you have to chase for weeks to get them to f*cking pay.

Thanks, DHL and USPS. Only took my book about a month to get here. In a few years maybe you can attempt to break Columbus' speed record.

Yeah I'm not feeling the French at the moment either.
With God's help I'll conquer this terrible affliction.
I have 13-14 weeks of vacation every year
