That sucks, Peter!
Our Dutch customs officials pull the same stunt regularly.
Be careful with not telling the truth - it can cost you dearly!
(Just a friendly word of advice!)

Mine came marked as a gift.

[peteOcha]

Yeah, I get all of mine marked as gift as well. So they should have passed it on through. It weighs around 10 lbs so maybe that is why they held it back.

I'll see what they want Siep with it first, if it is the weight then I'll just cover the tax and have them send it on to me.

UK customs is stupid. Ours doesn't hold shit unless it's for safety reasons. Everything else they send through or add a charge then send it through. the mailman just won't give it to you if you don't pay the fee/tax.

[peteOcha]

That was always the case - the mailman would come and ask for the tax charge, if you didn't pay it you had 20 days to claim the package and then they would send it back. Have no idea why they did things differently this time...

Maybe theres a good book in there someone wanted to read and they needed some time with it. lol

Will get to reading it soon Tom. Almost done with Four Rode Out, so that might be what I go for next as I would like to check out something from the PS grab bag.

How is Four Rode Out? I haven't read that yet.

[peteOcha]

Really good! If you are in to westerns you will enjoy this one. If not, they are good horror stories, so they should be enjoyable anyway. Still have one more left to finish up.
