Title: Re: How long will my BFL 30 be stuck in UK customs? Post by: nottm28 on November 06, 2013, 06:06:49 PM Is the pricetag on the invoice correct? This is BFL we are talking about. If they set it incorrect would that cause the delay? Title: Re: How long will my BFL 30 be stuck in UK customs?

If it is incorrect and they found it, yes, it could be the problem. Title: Re: How long will my BFL 30 be stuck in UK customs? Post by: itsgoldbaby on November 06, 2013, 06:13:07 PM My BFL unit sat in Canada customs for 5 days apparently. I received it and checked my tracking status, and it was apparently still in customs even though I had it. You will likely receive it before your tracking status changes.

I thought BFL paid the import tax. I've not heard of anyone in the UK having to paying import tax on BFL items. Title: Re: How long will my BFL 30 be stuck in UK customs?

Post by: Roy Badami on November 06, 2013, 06:52:09 PM Have you paid the import tax? It'll sit forever until you do. :) Huh? I thought BFL paid the import tax. I've not heard of anyone in the UK having to paying import tax on BFL items. Expect to pay import VAT (20%) at a minimum. I think I had a small amount (like 1% or so) import duty on top of that. Plus the ParcelForce customs processing fee, of course. They'll contact you with details of how much to pay but it will take a few days. Expect the whole process to take around a week - maybe a little more. roy Title: Re: How long will my BFL 30 be stuck in UK customs? Post by: BobbyJo on November 06, 2013, 07:12:34 PM Mine took approx 2 weeks. They send you a note in the post to say they have it and that you owe import tax (20% of total value). You can pay this over the phone or online I think. Once you have paid, it is delivered the next day!!
Title: Re: How long will my BFL 30 be stuck in UK customs? Post by: HellDiverUK on November 06, 2013, 07:18:26 PM I thought BFL paid the import tax. ROTFL. No, you have to pay VAT, import duty and handling fee. Title: Re: How long will my BFL 30 be stuck in UK customs? Post by: nottm28 on November 06, 2013, 07:46:36 PM I thought BFL paid the import tax.

The final insult from BFL :) fu*kers [EDIT] do you think UK customs will accept bitcoin 8) Title: Re: How long will my BFL 30 be stuck in UK customs? Post by: Roy Badami on November 06, 2013, 09:52:28 PM The final insult from BFL :) fu*kers Nothing to do with BFL. It's just the way it works when you import anything from outside the EU.

Post by: elpenguin on November 06, 2013, 11:12:15 PM Received my order from BFL today. It took 2 weeks in total with the last 8 days in the UK with customs. It did at least arrive the next after paying the fees.
Title: Re: How long will my BFL 30 be stuck in UK customs? Post by: zac2013 on November 07, 2013, 12:09:05 AM It should normally take about 1 week, to speed the process up you can call the delivery company (if you have a tracking number) and find out where your parcel is. It will normally be sitting in a box at your local distribution center while someone thinks about writing you a letter.
When you find out where it is you can go and pay/pick it up yourself with some id. I shaved about 5 days off the inefficient usps/royal mail process when i did this. Total costs will be a maximum of 20% + 10 quid for royal mail. You normally get robbed on the highest amount either the invoice value or if you have it insured, the insurance value.

It's on eBay current bid is £645 which means I might just break even with only 8 months of broken promises to show for it. BFL rock Title: Re: How long will my BFL 30 be stuck in UK customs?

Post by: nottm28 on November 13, 2013, 12:52:24 PM Did you try calling up the custom? When I phoned them they told me to be patient and they had a backlog to deal with. I have it now anyway. Big lesson learned with buying hardware. Title: Re: How long will my BFL 30 be stuck in UK customs?

Post by: HellDiverUK on November 13, 2013, 01:38:02 PM At least you're getting something. My 7GH Jalapeno was ordered in late June. They're shipping early April orders. Expensive paperweight by the time it arrives (though if BTC keeps going up in price it might still be worth running if/when it arrives).

Assuming you paid about £150 for the 7G jally - you may ROI if bitcoin prices stay like this... Title: Re: How long will my BFL 30 be stuck in UK customs?
