    Evening all,
    I bought some gear and a GBB pistol from EHobbyAsia 2 weeks ago and got this message today.
    "UPS contacted us and said you would not accept the import duty tax of Euro 46.68"

    Firstly I didnt know I would have to pay any import tax and secondly UPS never contacted me.

    Has anyone else had this issue?

    Where can I go from here?

    thanks
    Wavey.

    Call UPS and see what they say first. If they say they called you, ask them the date and time, and who they spoke to - they record this info when they make the call.

    Also calls tend to be recorded, so if you have a serious issue ask them to prove you had the conversation in the form of the recorded call.

    Mistery solved.

    It was delivered to work 4 days after I paid for it. Which is pretty impressive.

    Problem was I'm off work and the secratary just kept turning the UPS guy away!

    It only clicked lastnight, as I was really expecting up to 6 weeks delivery time.

    Picked it up in UPS today so all is well.

    I have all my airsoft stuff delivered to work. So what's your point? They're not going to open something addressed to you without extremely good cause.

    Considering I've had a GBB & two AEG's among other equipment delivered.

    It's just that accidents happen. I get my stuff delivered to work as well, but I've informed the guy down in the mail room of the contents in advance. The last package I recieved was held together with customs tape....you could clearly see what was inside (tact vest).

    I wasn't giving out to anyone.
