Customs

Anybody have any idea about how I can show my anger towards the Irish revenue office for seizing my fake ray bans and fake beats by Dre.

I mean there are people selling fags that are loaded with all sorts on moore street in full public view ???

Abit unfair I think.

Prodigious

A strongly worded letter sounds like the best course of action.

Shíte in an envelope and send it to them

Nabber

Bomb threat.

The Backwards Man

Don't buy counterfeit goods that they can seize.

That'll show them!!

Go abroad and post yourself home.
Dress as a cigarette for effect.

Only buy legal, high-quality products (i.e. not Beats headphones, fake or real) in future.

Living well is the best revenge.

Wanting to buy Dr Dre Beats was your first mistake.
Buying bootleg beats was your second mistake. Actually, they're probably just as good if not better :pac:

It's terrible the way people do their job properly.

Maybe if you write to the manufacturers of Ray Bans and Beats By Dre they might help you.

kneemos

Did you know they were counterfeet when boying them?

HeidiHeidi

Where did they take them off you?

Good god, moral brigade.
How dare the op try and save a few quid.

RickyRoss

Yes I knew they was counter fit haha duh that's why I bought them for 20 euro !! Beats cost 190 something that's the cheapest model.

My anger really is the fact you go Dublin or some car boot sales and they are reselling all these fake LV this and that and I get done for buying some headphones *sighs*

RickyRoss

Am I a bad person for buying an item that does the exact even better job for half the price??

Nothing moral about it. Counterfeit goods cost jobs.

I'd say they're paying plenty of tax on their sales too.

As good a job? The fake raybans are just a bit of coloured glass/plastic, probably no different to the ones sold by the street traders in the Med preying on the tourists. As for the Beats, all you have bought as a very cheap pair of headphones with a Beats logo.

And thats why customs took them off you. Either that, or you bought them outside the EU, and they want their cut.

Yeah, but unless they arrive here en masse on their holiers to spend the gazillions they earn producing these goods it's not much good to our economy now is it?

Get your local TD on it.

Be strong, OP.

The real stuff has customs duty paid on it. You know, the thing that the counterfeit stuff hasn't?

So it's illegal to buy stuff from street vendors on holiday and bring it home?

Yep, if they have infringed trademark regulations.

So yes to a LV knock-off but not to a plain bag that isn't masquerading as designer, oui?
