When I got one I had to pay a customs fee of about 5% to the carrier ( DHL )
mk7 08reg 2.4 T350 LWB MHR RWD
mk6 X reg 2.4 T350 LWB MHR RWD - scrapped
mk4 J reg 2.5 L300 LWB MHR RWD - sold on

Notice a trend there ? not too big and not too small

I've used this site a few times now. No problems but it takes about 3 weeks for delivery as it's shipped from the far east.

Lol Been quite stressed over it today tbh, I'm thinking of telling them they can send a courier to me for it, i really can't be arsed wrapping it and sending it to Poland, i have had problems in the past with international shipping etc, i ain't going to dhl or wherever as it means making an account up etc as far as I'm aware.
Then the guy in Poland may say there is a problem.
Then my money needs replacing.
Then I'll be paying import duty from getting mine originally which i don't know if it was based on weight etc which means i may be paying in part for receiving someone else's goods.
Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh fffffffffffffoooooooooookkkkkkkk oooooooffffffff!!

it`s their mistake, tell them they can arrange to have it collected at a time which suits you! i think the law says that after 12months you can keep it.
don`t contact courier or arrange shipment, it is the responsibility of the seller.

It's a shame ford ids clone are not as cheap as opcom I've just brought one for £13 :shock: and as long as you have the car code and ecu hasn't been swapped you can do loads

The ids clones seem worth the money considering the mk7 requirements imo, easily get the money back :-)
Genuine ids prices are stupid tho :-(

I'll tell them they can sort it out, guy comes to the door signs and takes it away, i don't pay anything or mess about and no comeback. :-)

I bought an HD-SDI cctv system sent from china and paid £80 carrier charge using Fed Ex got the china company to invoice me for 70% less than the cctv system cost and still had to pay Fed Ex import tax on an £86 invoice @ £27 which really should have been 3 times that.Most china companys will bill you for whatever you want.I ended up paying about £300 for a system that would have cost over a grand had I used a UK supplier. Also only took 3days to get to me. Pays to use your noggin and do your homework lol

I think they do it as a gift or something, i don't expect to pay much tax on it tbh but I'll wait and see what happens :-)

Loot,
Don't bother sending it back. I will pick it up in the morning, then you can do the 110 software & cruise control.
What a jolly Christmas :/)
