you promised me that card

""Ello""

re the 580

duh -you should have posted it to my Physical address not my email address and by the way the postie would collect any duty due on the dorstep or request me to pay at the local mail/parcel sorting office

guess this parcel will be returned to Sender ( guess your have to pay return postage and duty to reimport this item).

by the way hope you included your address otherwize you wont get the 580 returned

Yeah, the smell was terrible.

[MoonPig]

Ah, i get it... Smart move!

Do this to find out who replies saying they do have a package coming, and what it's worth, then you'll email them!

I have you figured out...

[qubit]

Nah, you shoulda paid the duties, dude. I got one of these emails and coughed up. I then received the package - and you know what it was? Various high end PC parts as a surprise birthday gift!

I got an i7 CPU, Gigabyte mobo, 8GB RAM, a GTX 580 & a killawatt PSU!!

Oh and a £50 voucher to get more stuff.
