Aaand now thay have decided to deliver it tomorrow, of course no idea of an actual time slot so I can arrange for someone to be in. ups are a total shower of shit I'm staggered that such an unprofessional company is still in business.
And their virtual assistant doesn't understand the phrase 'go fuck yourself'

Mag still sat at Castle Donnington. 20 minutes on the phone this morning finally got me talking a person in some call centre somewhere. Aparantly there is outstanding customs paperwork, Since I've had bits from WGC before with no issues I'm convinced this is the usual 'merican carrier with something vaguely gun like situation. When I asked why ups hadn't notified me of the issue and pointed out that my wife had now used 2 days leave waiting in for a scheduled delivery, and that if they had notified me that Friday's delivery wasn't going to happen she could have saved a day. Told me it's not their resposibility then hung up on me .
I've emailed WGC to get them to deal with ups

unfortunatly it happens more often than not when ups are involved. A mate ordered an AK last year, got notification from ups that it had been delivered and signed for , this despite his partner being at home and having seen no sign of them. Once he eventually managed to get hold of someone it turned out the they'd delivered it to the local hospital ! You couldn't make the level of their ineptitude up

Mine is still showing as at Donnington, despite an email overnight from ups saying delivery today . Various messages via email and messenger to ups have them saying WGC need to supply additional doccumentaion , and messages to WGC have them saying 'contact ups and wait for delivery'
Hopefully yours will go through without a hitch.
If mine isn't delivered in the next 48 hours I'll just instegate a charge back through my credit card. I'm happy to pay any customs charges that might be due , that's always a possibility purchasing abroard, but I'm not losing more days waiting in for something that doesn't arrive .

Well now I've had an email which seems to suggest there is an invoice to pay (import duties i assume , which fair enough) but no amount given and no link to actually pay it. Also a RIF decleration, again no instruction on what to do with it once completed . I've completed the parts that seem relevent and sent back via the email I recieved.
Begging to lose the will !

Yeah, i had a phone call yesterday to ask for my email address to send a RIF declaration form.
Filled it out and photographed the form (as I don't have a scanner) and sent it back to the address it was sent from.
As I had also ordered a stock, set of mags and box mag end plate along with the CO2 box mag, I clarified that the parts were to repair and upgrade the RIF in my possession. (I have a mag that seem to be temperamental with feeding, the end plate on my green gas box mag has split and I want to swap the stock for the para one)
Sent with an email saying "I hope this meets your requirements and I hope to recieve the parcel promptly" (rough translation "I have jumped through your hoop, now give me my stuff")
Got an email back earlier this afternoon asking "so this will be repaired in the UK then sent back to the shipper, correct?"
Just replied with a blunt "NO, it will be repaired and used for airsoft in the UK. I am a registered UKARA player" then gave them my UKARA number.
I'm honestly considering driving to Castle Donnington to demand the parcel in person if this kind of smooth brain behaviour continues

I managed to open the decleration, and filled it in on my phone then sent it back. I like your idea of completing a hard copy and photographing that though. Think I'll see if anywhere in town can print me one tomorrow and do that too.
Still cant work out if they actually want money off me or not !

After an email today saying 'we need your rif decleration ' (seriously) which usefully included a telephone number, I spent half an hour on the phone to a helpfull chap in the apropriate department. Emailed him the decleration direct. I did your thing of filling it out , photoing it and sending that , he kept me on the phone while he uploaded it and updated the system . Also told me to email him direct tomorrow if there is no update on the tracking .
It does now show as ready to be submitted for clearance so who knows it might even turn up next week , although still not holding my breath !
