that's always my bugbear. Ok, getting caught by the customs once in a
awhile, that's the risk you take - sometimes you win sometimes you don't.
But the PO handling charge? The sooner someone in authority takes them to
task over that the better - its not even as if the thieving bastards deliver
it to you - you have to go to their sorting office because they don't trust
their posties! And if they don't trust them.........
