Any one had order to the UK held in Langley for days?

[Jbean]

Hi guys,

just wondering whether anyone here has had one or more parcels sent to the UK being held in Langley for several days - i have 1 parcel which has been tracked into "Langley HWDC" and has been here for 3 days now!

In the past all of my parcels are in and out of Langley within hours, not days.

There should be NO duty or VAT to pay!

Just wondering whether anyone has experienced the same as me where by their parcel is held randomly in Langley for days, then is randomly released and delivered without duty requred?

cheers!

The seller assures me that they have declared the value at below the threshold of DUTY and VAT. its a small packet with no return address or invoice attached.

Ok thanks for the feedback, did this come via netherlands "Post NL" by any chance?

So your item was tracked into Langley "LANGLEY HWDC, United Kingdom, Item Received" and only 7 days later the tracking updated to "Heathrow Worldwide DC, United Kingdom, Item has left our International Processing Centre"

then their after quickly made its way through the network to your door?

If so, there is hope then that mine will release and make it through without fuss...

Did it arrive without duty being required in the end or was you "grey carded" by royal mail?
