    When I ordered my fairing kit from China it was with customs for about a week.
    Then it was delivered with no duty charges what so ever, I was well chuffed.

    i think the usual time the guys on here waited have been from 3-7 days. mine was about 6 i think.as soon as its cleared it,ll be with you in a couple of days. its worth ringing parcel force and pay the customs charges that.ll speed it up by a few days.

    I got my Yoshi from the states a few weeks ago. It was 5 days from landing to getting to the Parcelforce Depot. As soon as it's there ring them. I went and picked mine up and paied the fees at the same time.

    If they have put the value as $100 you will pay VAT on the $100 plus $79 delivery fee, about £22 plus £8 to Parcelforce for the pleasure.

    Just checked on parcel force site and it's listed as awaiting customs charging, guess its through customs then, hopefully won't be long now:)))
