  1. if you can have a nice word with your supplier they can tick the "gift" box on the transport form, that way you wont have to pay VAT as you didnt actualy purchace it! lol. get them to send the recipt seperately.

    also buy from states now as the exchange rate was $1.82 to the pound!

    $300 is £164 which for such a bulky item aint bad!

    The 'Gift' thing definately does not work. I have ordered rims from the states marked as gift, I even had them sent in four separate boxes and I got hammered for £490 customs duty. Did the same thing when ordering on various occaisions from ProLex performance and again got charged customs. Just accept you are going to have to pay it, and if it manages to sneak through take it as a bonus.

    It is a bit of a shock when the postie knocks on your door and asks for £490 before you can have your packages :crying::blink:

  2. Oi stop highjacking my post!! :P

    What was the yellow colour called? Plus an 'Other' choice will be added...just for you Maz :P

    Its called Amarillo Yellow mate.

    St Lucia Pearl is the nasty cream coloured paint. Not sure if the Pearl stands for Pearlescent or not.

  3. :angry: Makes you really mad when you hear this happening to people :angry:

    I always try to cover the keyboard as best I can when typing my PIN.

    Hope the banks checks for CCTV cameras near the machine at the time of transactions. I used to investigate fraudulent ATM transactions when I worked for the Bank of Ireland some years ago and we always requested footage from CCTVs  if they were present.

    Hope your bank looks after you.

    I am usually so careful in covering the keypad when I type in my PIN - I cannot think why I would not have done it this time. Maybe the a$$holes had some sort of new gadget that can read the PIN as well????

    My main saving grace is that I made a Switch payment (for which I must have had my card) in Mansfield (M1 J28) at 4.15pm on Sunday, and cash was withdrawn at 5.45pm in Edgeware. This is a journey of some 128 miles, I think I can argue that this would not have been possible in 1 1/2 hours on a Sunday afternoon. What do you guys think??

  4. Yep - they almost had some serious cash from me..... lucky they didn't...

    Sorry to hear it Andy (as I spoke to earlier anyway), but you'll be fine claiming the money back.

    Next time, we will be that little bit more aware of those around us...

    I just wish I could rewind time mate - catch em at it and do some serious head squashing :tsktsk:
