Hi
This of course will need quite a bit of looking into, but it appears that
postal authorities are unnecessarily value adding to goods, based upon nothing
more than what the customer thinks the item is worth. Customs then add their
charges. The end result being a lot more money we fork out, to have goods posted.
Given that postal authorities will deliver your item regardless, what is the
sense in stipulating high amounts ? To me it has all the markings of a
confidence trick, and we need to bring goods declared value,
when posted, back to a level that is at least sensible.
I often throw a spanner so to speak into the works, by saying " the item
is priceless !" adding its worth two Mona Lisa's
Does anyone else have any thoughts about this ?
Cheers / Chris
