In my recent experience 1-3 days depending on if they make customs charges and who the carrier is.

If it goes through USPS itll go to ParcelFarce.....they will then write you a letter explaining the charges.

Fedex will pay the charges for you, deliver your parcel with no indication of charges, then send you a letter 2 weeks later asking for loads of money..

Buggers, aint they!

up to a week once the parcel gets into the country (from the usa). then if they decide that there is import duty to pay, they give it to parcel force who charge you for delivery and the duty . (so you are paying delivery charges twice).
con or what?.
but parcels from asia seem to get though quicker sometimes without duty added.

I've only ever paid tax the once and it was my first and last big order from the us, I get all my stuff from asia and I haven't been charged yet. The one I got charged on I had a tracking number and I noticed it had got to the depo after two weeks and that apparently they had tried to deliver it, but they didn't leave a card or anything. I went to pick it up and paid the charges but it wasn't untill three days later that I got the letter to say I had a package to collect and charges to pay. Thats the brilliant service you pay your £8 charge for.
