fedex

[parrot of doom]

Fedex have sent me an invoice for customs fees for something I ordered over the internet.

Basically, tax, which they have paid on my behalf. Its only £13, and normally I'd pay up quickly, but I can't find out how to pay online, and their call centre is taking ages.

So, should I ignore it? The only threat they've made is to cancel my account, which is cool as I don't have one. Besides, I pay enough tax.

Please note I've always paid my bills within days, I'm no creditor's nightmare, but when it comes to tax.....

Morally you know the right answer-It is a cost you have incurred and you should pay it-The question of whether you can get away with it or not is irreleevant.
