Hi as per title when purchased an item did any one be confronted with custom charges upon arrival?
-
Nope. No charges at all. Some things listed as "toys" on the parcel though :signLOL:
-
Cheers Joe, what did you buy. I,m looking at buying a cherry red hazard light switch
-
Bought a few things from china not switches though and never had a problem with charges
-
Depends what you buy and the price, for a switch you'll be fine.

You got a link for the hazard switch mate?
-
^^^^ they're on eBay, only a few quid.

I bought this one.
Works perfectly, never had import duties. I've purchased countless items from china through eBay and have never been charged import.

Same here I've bought the chrome trimmed switches and GTI seat inserts. No import duty to pay and surprisingly quick delivery.
-
For what it's worth I usually use AliExpress - normally cheaper than eBay because you're buying direct from the factory.
Comes with the usual guarantees and I've never been charged import either.

Good thing with aliexpress is they won't release the money to the seller until you have received the item and fully happy with it. Though watch out as there are many scammers there . Look for good reviews and authorised sellers with more than a year presence there

In regards to aliexpress, what method of payment do people use? Am I right in thinking they they aren't supported by PayPal anymore?
-
Hi all thanks for the feedback, I ordered a hazard switch via eBay from China it arrived today fitted and works well

Has to be card payment with them but it seems secure and the seller won't get your details
-
I actually bought a few chrome window switches from aliexpress. From previous experience does anyone know typical shipping times? Can't log in from phone!

Think its about 2 weeks but can take up to 6
