Brett Kern ๐บ๐ธ Ceramic Dinosaur โข Ceramic Sculpture, by iamzero on Jul 17, 2021 11:46:48 GMT 1, Bit weird that mine is saying itโs left the States but hasnโt yet arrived in the U.K. Maybe they put the package on a dingy and pushed it towards England? How long ago did it leave the US? Iโve noticed in the past itโs quite common for it to take over a week for the tracking to update that itโs arrived here ๐
Left New York on the 10thโฆ not too worried. Itโll get here.

saw earlier in the thread someone said they confirmed the value & there were no charges, so may see if that works
but will check their site out, ta

So 80 quid seems rather high....

As divejedi suggests, that doesnโt seem right at all! Part of that will not doubt be some kind imaginary processing charge but I still canโt see how itโs come out even close to that.

They are rated as zero so I don't know what that ยฃ24.24 is. P.S. "custom VAT duty" is a nonsense phrase, anyway. It's either custom charges or VAT. There's no such thing as "customs VAT" charge.
NB - checked it does indeed say Customs Duty, not custom vat duty

Well a cracking looking Styracosaurus (even if the hassle and fees were certainly somewhat undesirable). Slightly kicking myself now for not going for a green or yellow dino so next time I think Iโll focus in on one of these colours. Loving the staging of the photos in the recent shares. ๐

They are smaller then I expected, but very cute.
