    Anyone having problems with Customs lately?

    They have a tablet PC sent to me from China for 3 days now and no request for Paypal invoice etc

    They used to be very efficient i.e. sent out a notice the day after they got the parcel.

    They're stopping a lot more goods lately, so taking longer to process everything. I'm sure they'll release it soon, and then you'll get the bill for vat/duty.

    you can gurantee you will be stung for VAT in the time of the boom years, All goods purchased 7 going trough the post were let on. But the way the Country is gone now you wont get away with much. without having to pay the Vat.
    So its hardly worth the hassle anymore buying abroad & having it delivered

    It really depends on what it is - stuff I buy online is still cheaper even after considering the s&h, forex, VAT, customs & excise, and An Post delivery charge.
