My new rims finally arrived from the states today, but I got hammered big time on customs and VAT charges even though I had them sent to my work place. The parcel force guy delivered them this morning with a bill for £360!!!! :crybaby: :crybaby: :crybaby:

Anyways, here are some piccies ( I even dried the car off just for Zee :) )

I ordered them about three weeks ago from Carson Toyota, but the long shipping time was in no way their fault. We were getting messed around big time from the US postal service, they kept saying things like theboxes were 3" too big :angry: :angry: and generally messing us around. They should have taken 3-5 days but there you go.

Ricky, yes they wanted the money on the spot, luckily I had drawn some cash out for such an eventuality :blink: so I had enough. If I didnt pay them on the spot, they would have taken them back to the depot, charged me a daily 'babysitting' fee, and after 7 days auctioned them to cover their costs!!!!! Bunch of robbing buggers I say
