Parcels from USA to UK

[Joeguard1990]

Hi All,

I'm currently in a dispute with a fellow eBayer in regards to a parcel not being received from the US. He is of course addmament that he sent it but can't provide me with the tracking number yet...
Ebay recommends that the parcel could potentially be held at customs and I should check with any issues there first before taking it further.
Does anyone know or have any info on how I would go about this? I am presuming I would need a tracking number first to find out which airport it's at? Or would they contact me to let me know if there were any issues?
any info would be much appreciated.

Many Thanks

"yet"?

If he sent it via a tracked method, then he'd have had the number at the time of sending.

Did you pay for it to be sent via a tracked method?

sorry by yet I mean I have tried asking him for it but so far no reply. Yes it was stated in the ad that it would be delivered via tracked delivery.
Its a pair of expensive sneakers, sorry trainers £125.00

I am a sneakerhead as well as a pistonhead haha.

So you're saying to contact HMRC and check? It's just I remember years ago I did the same thing and the postman asked me to pay on the door what was owed when he delivered it. Not sure if things have changed since then. That was about 7-8 years ago. You never know though, maybe he just hasn't sent it and it's a scam! I was just more interested in the whole customs information.

Thanks
