Re: tip
Thanks, I have already come across some sites where it is stated that the word "merchandise " will be printed on the label.
I had a look at some threads on the company which delivers in Ireland for the US mail services and it's not good news.
On top of VAT and duty, it looks as if the company charges something like euro 20 for custom clearance fee.
Plus, there appears to be considerable delays in the delivery of goods to the ultimate destination in Ireland.
One of my friend who has relatives in the States has told me that her sister has more or less stopped sending her parcels, because of the high costs involved.
Thanks for the replies.
