    ^ I presume if you send them the invoice showing amount actually paid, customs will release them?

    phew glad I ordered two plugs separately


  • Registered Users Posts: 52 ✭✭wallaby72


    I queried with customer support before they had shipped mine to ensure the paid value was displayed on the package. They responded with this:


    Thank you for contacting us.We checked that you have 2 orders on our website.
    Please rest assured that we have declared your goods at the value that you paid.


    Thank you for your patience and kind support.

    Best Regards

    Do you mind me asking where you diagnosed before you became a soldier or after. I went for it years ago and passed everything I needed to but on one of the forms I was in two minds about putting down the Diabetes. Figured I would never be able to hide it so wrote it down and then all of a sudden I failed my medical but no explanation given (even though upto this I appeared to be ahead of the curve). Years later I was told by a person I knew in the army I wouldn't be allowed even if I had been diagnosed after as I wouldn't be OK for sending abroad.

    wonder when these will ship out... im still at 'processessing'

    I've two orders from Aug 16th and on the orders page the earlier one 8.30am (their time) is "Shipped Out" and the later one PM their time is "Processing"

    I guess there was a bit of a run on these!

    Got a email this afternoon 10 to 15 days before they'll have new stock in an did i want to wait.

    What happens if the postman arrives looking for vat and fees or do customs write first?

    Can you claim it back after you pay the postman or what happens here

    I ordered 2 and 1 ,3 in total

    I think they're being shipped with the value printed on the package

    An Post don't just arrive without you having contacted customs with your reference and sorting out what's owed, in my experience.


    Hopefully sending the invoice to them will clarify that there's no vat/fees due.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,773 ✭✭✭taytobreath


    to be fair these are a GREAT bargain, the sonoff basics are about a fiver delivered can get them and the others from ebay, (this ebay shop is just an example)

    https://www.ebay.ie/itm/Sonoff-ITEAD-Smart-Home-WiFi-Wireless-Switch-Module-Fr-Apple-Android-APP-Control/332599444186?hash=item4d7078c2da:m:mFtlQcz6O06xiL1wij21rVw

    Ive done my whole house with them, but messy having to cut lamp wires, crimping and screwdrivers, for 2.50e extra for a uk plug, this is a no-brainer.

    head over to the sonoff page for ideas and help installing.

    I had 10 spots in a living room/kitchen and they were been switched from 3 different switches, ie living room lights on 1 switch kitchen lights on another switch.... I stuck 3 of those son-offs on the incoming cables for each light circuit and stuffed them above the ceiling and they work perfectly.

    It beats forking out 30 euro a piece for 10 philips hue light spots.

    Will they definitely come via An Post for the last leg then?
    Dispatch email says " it will be delivered by SingPost Unregistered"

    Singapore Post to Ireland only, then (in my experience) stuff sits in the corner or the sorting office until someone can be bothered to actually sort them. I've had stuff sit around in Ireland for 2-3 weeks.

    If you are contacted by Revenue and can provide your invoice showing the value is under the threshold then you'll be grand.

    Posties used to collect monies owed but more recently Revenue/An Post won't release until you've paid.

    Please check this link: http://www.dresslily.com/m-article-id-83.htm


    Once placing an order with us customers agree to our terms and conditions.

    The shipper first pays the fee on your behalf, then asks you to pay once they deliver the package to you.
    Taxes are charged by the local Customs Office and country regulations are beyond our control.

    As it is the customer's responsibility to pay these taxes to receive the parcel, we cannot provide any compensation in such cases.

    Thank you for your understanding.

    Both orders now marked as " Shipped Out" :)

    The first order tracking details also seems to indicate its coming via Belgium.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,773 ✭✭✭taytobreath

    Is that their way of circumventing the import duty. Kinda like what gearbest do.
