Ebay per paid customs service

Recommended Posts

Has anyone any experience of ebay's pre paid customs service? . I'am awaiting a order from the USA that i paid the customs duty on prior to shipping . Does this cause additional delays with delivery ? Normally i would have expected it to have arrived by now .

From what i can understand the seller ships it to a location in the USA who sort all the tax duty out and then forward it on . Is that correct ? Anyone else found that this delays items ?

Not worried yet as the item is fully insured and having used PayPAL i'am well covered but - i want my stuff lol

Do you mean the Global Shipping programme?

If so;

Postage

After receiving your payment, the seller sends your item to a local US or UK Shipping Centre.

International experts at the UK or US Shipping Centre process the package, complete customs

forms, pays applicable import charges, and sends the package to the address that you specified

at the time of purchase. Items that are dispatched through the Global Shipping Programme

generally arrive within 1 week after leaving the UK or US Shipping Centre.

Tracking

Once the seller has posted your item, you receive an email letting you know that the item has been dispatched.

The email includes a global tracking number which enables you to track your item as it travels from the UK or

US Shipping Centre to you. The global tracking number can also be found in My eBay and on the Order details page.

Did you receive an email with tracking info yet?
