RS shipment held in US customs


Recommended Posts

Hi folks,

 

I ordered a kit from RS Propmasters and they used OCS to deliver it. Apparently my shipment has been held at Customs since May 1st. I spoke to RS and they told me the currier would like to speak to me. Has anyone experienced this before? What kind of information do you think the currier wants? Am I in jeopardy of losing my kit? The shipment was being sent from UK to US.

 

Thanks!

 

Edit: customs required extra tax money. Everything is ok.

Was it a lot, if you don't mind me asking?  The reason I ask is I have to plan my purchases out, and I would be pretty upset if I don't have enough set aside in case I run into the same issue.  If it's something like $300-400, then I've got to do some shuffling on my finances to cover.

 

If it's something you don't want to share, I'll understand.

Considering the value of the shipment, it sounds like you got away cheap. Most countries have a lot more import tax. When I imported a Fett costume from the US I paid $400+ something in VAT and fees.

I do that on smaller shipments. But the Fett came in two big boxes. It's quite unlikely that those would only be worth a few hundred.

Should have, could have, would have. It's been almost years since then. I'm doing just fine financially nonetheless. :)
