You can contact Customs and ask

Unlikely to get through if accurately labelled, the importation of telescopic batons is prohibited. See section (k) below

I'd say that's about as sturdy as a television aerial.

Star Wars Boy comes to mind if the gifs are anything to go by.

If you can’t remember ordering anything then it sounds like a scam. Plenty of fake customs payment texts going around.

Firstly, are you sure it's a genuine demand and not a scam, if you don't recall ordering anything? Secondly, no you don't automatically get a refund as that's a matter you've to raise with the seller. The item may even be destroyed rather than being returned.

We can't have anything for self defence in this country. So it's not getting through.

You mean we can't have offensive weapons.

Yeah okay, so first off I'm pretty sure that's illegal to carry around, the guards find that on you and you'll be the one going to jail

Second, that ain't gonna defend you against anything. I'm all in favour of learning self defence but let's be honest the scumbags don't fight fair. You put up a fight against one of them and you'll have all 10 of his mates on you in a heartbeat. Unless you're the Daredevil I don't fancy your chances

Your best self defence system is your legs, if you're presented with a genuine threat to your wellbeing then run like your life depends on it (it just might)
