A bloke buys some parts from the states,$1650 worth to be exact and all is good until he gets an email from the seller advising that they had written the value as $350 there moneythey were not asked to do so but the bits are on there way so having had a bad experience with a seller doing similar (again not asked to) in the past the bloke decides to contact customs and tell them whats been done as once customs work out the things undervalued it takes heaps of shagging about to get anything off them.Takes a bit to get hold of someone at customs worth talking to but finally the bloke does,he realises that his parcels just one of a millon but gives the customs guy all the details he can and said customs guy advises him its a good thing he did as theres no way something undervalued like that would get through,bloke again advises the officer he really needed the parts and the reason for calling was simply to avoid a long winded and frustrating hold up all good says the officer someone would be in touch once the parcel arrived in the country
not a chance,few days later the blokes bits turn up in a courier van,no hold up and no duty payable
I hear a lot on here about what damage this does to the locals trying to make a living out of motorcycles and guys that do undervalue stuff tend to get some flak but bloody hell whats a bloke have to do
