Fingers crossed for you. Where did you buy from?

From a site called "Bulldog-Army.com" Initially I thought they were a bit sus but they had paypal as a payment option so I took the chance. I sent a couple of messages to their support and never received a reply so I might just end up with a box of rocks :D

Been on the phone with Parcelforce and they're waiting on a reply to an email they've sent (they didn't so who they sent it to or what they were asking). Left them my UKARA info anyway but they never provided any kind of declaration to fill out.

ive never heard of HMRC wanting a "RIF declarations form". That sounds like the thing that UPS ask you to do.

Yep, sounds like UPS bullshit again

Here is the UPS bullshit document, had it in my inbox lucky for you....

This is why you never use UPS.

@DestrO @EvilMonkee

It's with Parcelforce who are waiting on an email reply (possibly checking UKARA info?) before it gets released. Being a bank holiday weekend, I doubt it's going to move very quick.

I've got a package coming in via EMS > Parcel Force and been stuck at the international hub waiting for customs clearance for in customs for 10 days now, rarely does it take that long.  Never heard of the parcelforce rif declaration letter before.  I wonder if even UPS bother to check your ukara or any defence.  The declaration just covers their ass.  Who knows.

I had one delayed for ages from a private seller in Norway as it didn't have an invoice attached to it to show the VAT that needed to be calculated.

Just got an email this morning. Package has been released by customs and tracking should update soon. Might even get it by the end of the week. No additional paperwork required.

@MrTea nice one, mine changed this morning as well.  Now if only ParcelForce could sort out their import fee process, seriously they send a letter out with a number.  Can add 2 or 3 days to the process.  Jezzzz
