I got mine delivered to my folks house because I'm not home much around this time of year. They tried to deliver yesterday but nobody was home. dropped off today. Don't feel bad Jacob I wont get to brew till the new year. But when I do 

[Ciderhead]

Don't sweat it mine arrived before others in Dublin, unless you ordered 50lbs they will show up, you didn't order 50lbs did you Jacob!!

Did I?

Just taking a piss But would be nice to get them before xmas. Better to keep them in the freezer then in AnPost warehouse.

Hops arrived. No extra charges. Happy days!!!

I ordered some on 21Jan. Arrived today with €16.86 charge from the customs boys. 

[nigel_c]

How much did you order?

[imark]

3.5lbs with a value of $65

[nigel_c]

Ouch.

[imark]

Tell me about it! Couple of varieties I couldn't get here in there though so no other option for getting them.

[Ciderhead]

Is this cos boys are sitting around again?,
please advise how their charge was made up as duty should be just over 3%
Just had some land by Sis, or Donkey Drug Mule as she has started calling herself.

Customs value = 47.23
Vat @ 23% = 10.86
An post fee = 6
Owed = 16.86
Robbery!

[imark]

What's most annoying is the an post fee which is a significant percentage of the customs cost.

[imark]

Ouch... That would really piss me off.

That's cos they have contracted out the Valuation Consideration bit to a private company! God bless the free market. ( provided its inside the Euro zone) and ( less than 20e in value) and (a box/letter smaller than x grams) Mr Dempsey has the details!
