Parkes vaping?

[beeratz]

I'm thinking of placing an order but I'm a tad worried about it getting caught at customs and having to pay a shed ton of tax on it. Anyone had any problems with customs/tax when ordering from Parkes vaping/USA in general?
I'm don't think I'll be ordering juices (not sure yet), it's likely to just be tanks and cartos. Does that make any difference as to whether it will get stopped?

Not bought from abroad yet bee but add 20% to it if its still cheaper buy it , and as far as I know perps hasn't been caught out yet with her MASSIVE hC packages so why should you?

[beeratz]

That's true, it would be just my luck to get caught out though haha things like that always happen to me

[kirsty0108]

Oh god I got caught once getting fags posted from abroad had to go to PO and pay duty its a bit different tho with vaping gear there I was technically avoiding taxes whereas in your case its up to them to charge you taxes (hope that makes sense)

i made an order from madvapes its my 1st order abroad..its only worth $24.i dont know what will happen. status is shipped

[Gordy]

UK customs allowance is £15 including P&P.... so $24 should be ok Gaz

[Gaz1888]

ok cheers gordy. i didnt have a clue lol

[Gordy]

if its a private gift i believe they up the limit to £40 and a little higher if its a wedding gift... so when i get married I want a Provari

i forgot to say i learnt the hard way ...i bought £16 worth of stuff from the states and had to pay 20% on that £16 which wasnt too bad as its only £3.20 but then the postal service added on £10 handling charges !!!! so my order doubled, the thieving so and so's

I ordered a paws mod (about $30) and had no probs. Best be safe than sorry and budget for the extra duty. Was really worried about it but no probs. I also got 2 chibi tanks initially ($15) and again no probs. I went for slow post (up to 4 weeks but can be as little as a week. Any probs pm Mary)....

What are you thinking about getting? If it's tanks stock up needles from www.needles-r-us.co.uk - you'll need them ...otherwise they are a doddle to fill...

I even (I think) now have a video on the parkes vaping site (how to fill a chibi with a blunt needle)

I bought the Paws mod and it came to £19 including shipping. no customs to pay luckily. It was delivered in around 8 days
