karlfer Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 First time I've imported something, a Warmoth neck. So it's arrived at Manchester and the tracking now states "receiver to pay taxes or duties on this parcel". Sadly it doesn't tell me how to do that, where to do that, or what happens next. In 24 hours its gone from Fife (in Washington) to Seattle, to Louisville to Philadelphia to Manchester. I now have the feeling it's going to sit in Manchester for a fortnight Anybody with experience of what happens next please? Cheers, Karl.

gary mac Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I'm sure last time I did this, it was a case of paying the courier before they would complete the delivery to me. I would just contact the courier in the first instance Karl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artisan Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Usually you will get a card through the post with a reference number & payment instructions ( I always have,Parcelforce being the UK courier) Pay online or over the phone & they deliver next working day.

franzbassist Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Usually you can just ring UPS and pay over the 'phone once that message appears, rather than wait for the card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassman Steve Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I have always gone to the depot to pay over the counter and collect the package. I have imported a number of basses and had no issue at all with any of them. Obviously that doesn't work for deliveries from EU countries - still come 2017 when we leave .....................
