    is your IE address on the parcel?

    otherwise the import duty demand will have gone to Parcel Motel and it will languish there.

    As far as I'm aware the contents of the parcel don't matter, just the value.

    Thanks for the reply,its in the faqs section of parcel motel that i never read by the way that they dont deal with excise duties and will refuse delivery so i presume the uk customs dont have my name and address so i will have to ring them when i get home,regards

    in Ireland there is no duty on second hand radio "parts"
    Thats why Ialways order from ebay us the shipping can be killer on heavy items but well worth it :)
