If it doesn't arrive today, check with your local postal office to see if they have it and are not delivering due to size. I'll pm you the customs number from the package.

Unfortunately, no. The printer can't go that small, and there really isn't a demand for them.

I saw the package-post around my building today (13th), nothing for me, they have delivered far bigger packages than 3 t-shirts so I don't think that's the problem.

^maybe it has something to do with customs. My package was left at customs because it was over a certain value treshhold...I suppose they scan it to make sure it is what it says it is, and that it's not full of ANTHRAX!!!!1111

that cost me 2 days, and 10€

^ Just checked, I might have to pay 25% VAT, but it's under the value for regular customs fee.

I got the shipment of the FG motorsports reprints, and the quality was absolutely terrible on them.. they used so much ink in the wrong color that it bled the back text, and the front is this metallic green.

The printer is replacing them, so I don't know when the new ones will arrive (probably another week or so). If you ordered other shirts, send me a PM and I'll refund you for the reprint and get your others out asap. If you want to cancel the order instead of waiting, send me a PM and I'll refund your order..

Mine didn't arrive either, but I know our post is shit so I'll expect it in the next couple of days.

Belgian Post screwed you over as well huh?
T-Shirts arrived here yesterday, also together with a €10 customs charge. -_-
The shirts do look nice though, so thanks Quiky! ^^

[matt2000]

Mine still haven't arrived yet!

[mgkdk]

I just got a letter saying I had a package waiting for me, customscharge $40.66 WTF

I had a letter too, mine was £11.30. Bloody customs.

Anyway I went to fetch it and here's what I found when I opened it up.



Thanks Quiky/MCL.

Both shirts fit perfectly (large, although I thought I ordered medium, glad they weren't ). May post up some photos of me wearing one soon, but I don't want to scare you too soon.

Luckily my customs fee seems to have been lost and forgotten somewhere in the depths of German bureaucracy - the postman was apparently supposed to collect it upon delivery, but they just stuffed it in the letterbox.

I would have opened it right in the post office and told them "Explain how this deserves a $40 charge."

That's just preposterous.

that´s a win for you. But if I´m correct, your postman will then have to pay that out of his own pocket then ... so he´ll probably come by your house again the next days and try to collect the money.

How many shirts did you order? 20?

Or is there a fine included in the 40$ (€?)?

And I just want add, that I didn´t have to pay customcharge for 2 shirts ... (but then, my bag/parcel) wasn´t opend by the customs at all ... worked fine for me.

Haven't collected it yet, but yes, I'm gonna complain about it, but not in the postoffice it's not their fault.

3, and no it just says 'customscharge'.

The stupid thing is that you can import stuff up to a value of 1150 dkr without customs and these were under 400 dkr

Yeah, apparently it's quite a random process, I think I'm the only one in Germany who got his shipment custom'ed.

Strange, I didn't have to pay anything.

[mgkdk]

I has t-shirts

Apparently 'customscharge' is the same as VAT+fee/fine

Value t-shirts = 276dkr
25% VAT = 69dkr
Fee/fine = 124 dkr
25% VAT of fee/fine = 31dkr (wtf)
Total 500dkr

but who cares they are cool

UK Customs sometimes pick you up, sometimes don't.

I've found that with Threadless, usually 1 tshirt or 2 will get through the customs net ok but if you order 3 or more then they'll pull you up.

Are these still available btw?
