  1. what paperwork, its all computerised. bar code scanner etc. as for the fees, what exactly are you paying for? and why is it doubled for faster shipping, when parcel force do exactly the same thing, wether normal or express shipping
  2. its not about the vat or customs fees, purely about parcel farce charges
  3. but this is done by customs not parcel force and this is done by an automated letter from a pc, going into parcel force and paying this takes maybe a minute longer than when you pick up a missed delivery basically a parcel comes into the country, i dont know the reasoning but some get charged some dont, hmrc work out the amounts and charge you accordingly, parcel force pay this charge (automated payment) when they collect the parcel. please note that parcel force would be collecting the parcel anyways. parcel arrives at correct depot, a letter is generated from a pc to the parcel adressee advising of a parcel/charge, person receives letter through post, then arranges to pick up parcel/pay charges, or have it delivered and pay charges online. so far parcel force have done 2 things, different to the normal on customers behalf, pay an automated payment, and send a pc generated letter. yes they should be able to charge something, but should it be the amounts they are charging, its n ot as if we have a choice, well actually we do have a choice, pay or parcel is returned to sender. and why is the charge doubled for a parcel that is express delivered?????
  4. but surely each parcel is picked up anyway, everything comes in through customs. so apart from paying the charge what else do they do???
  5. i dont see what they do different in picking up a parcel that has charges on it, than a one without, surely the whole payment process is automated anyway, the package has to be picked up and delivered just the same. they charge double for a express parcel than a standard delivery parcel. i asked them on the phone why this was, and they couldnt answer.
  6. hi rob, looking at this with interest as i intend to do the same, i have had a lot of charges from parcel force and have been very unhappy with there attitude. cant work out exactly what they are charging me for, plus they charge different charges depending on shipping method used. i dont mind the customs charges, i factor that into my purchases, but the parcel force charges seem to be very excessive at times
  7. is it? i thought it was to reduce accidents, accidents dont just happen from bad driving
  8. and its not careless or dangerous driving, if it had of been then they would have been prosecuted for that, careless and dangerous driving are actual crimes, are you quallified to distinguish between them?
  9. just in the same way banks have to comply with the law, the police/camera partnerships have to also, part of this law is ensuring the nip (notice of intended prosecution) arrives to the alleged speeder within 14 days. only time this does not apply is when the actual speeder is not the registered keeper of the vehichle. this is not abusing the law or trying to get off the hook, its just complying with the law. as for the guidlines at which speeds they prosecute for speeding, they are just that "guidlines" even though parliament say they should be followed, the police/partnerships do whatever they like. some people have been prosecuted for 33 in a 30, tell me that is fair if you can. speedos are not reliable for 33 in a 30
  10. yeah the 14 day rule does apply, as long as your the registered keeper witht he dvla, like others have already stated, look at pepipoo and you will find the relevant info. wow arthurp your now my hero
  11. have a look at PePiPoo: Helping the motorist to get justice plenty on there about clamping/parking issues. dont listen to arthurp
  12. check the engine number on the engine witht he one on your v5, if they dont tally up then surely thats proof something is amiss
  13. i spoke to inland revenue about this today, they say i can make this claim, each year at the moment there is an amount incorporated into my tax code to allow for the purchasing of tools and work clothing, that amount is approx £50. what i intend to do is show them the amount i have actually spent on essential tools and clothing, they will then use this to work out what my tax code would/should have been, and then change my current code and hopefully issue a refund on overpayment. not expecting the taxman to fund my tools, but to have my tax contributions worked out on my actual expenses
  14. hi all, i am a roofer working for a local firm, the only help i get with purchsing tools is the use of the firms accounts. i then pay this money back weekly via my pay. i could hire tools (drills etc) but its not always practical to do so. i would like to be able to claim some tax exemption on these tools that i have bought, maybe even a refund. my employer is going to give me copies of all invoices that i have paid to them, this is in excess of £3k over the last 3 years. what i need to do now is write a letter to the taxman/inland revenue asking them to review my case. that is where i am stuck, i am not great at writing letters and would be very grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction. many thanks graeme
