RE: Re:Customs - RM Handling fee

[Guest guest]

Hi Val - I have been wondering the same thing - it may well be in Ashfin's best interest to offer this as many of us are going to use in house to stop getting stung like this arent we.

maybe we could ask him on Saturday Sheila?

Just to add my bit to this I used express mail once, paid for by Asfin as my original order hadnt arrived and it took 4 days at the most and I wasnt charged!

Dear Sheila,May I wish you all a successful and enjoyable meeting and look forward to reading the valueable information and comments.Kind regardsShirley Brook

Hi Shirley

How wonderful to hear from you. I often wonder how you are these

days so I am delighted you have written. However, I am really angry to hear

that you have been charged so much. Do you mind if I copy your letter and show

it to Afshin. He is so terribly upset by all this. He even wrote to me saying

that he felt he should be reimbursing everybody for these extra charges, but I

told him it was OUR country's rules and not his.  However, if this happens to

you again - please don't collect that tablets (unless of course, you are

desperate for them). Instead, email Afshin and tell him what has happened and ask

if he could send some more - as these might escape Customs and the dreaded RM.

The tablets at the depot will be automatically sent back to Afshin after 20

days. Afshin is very happy with this, and it was he who suggested it.  A second

lot just might escape charges. We will be discussing this problem at our Get

Together with Afshin, and yes, I am determined we are going to have a wonderful

time.

I booked a table at The Alma Hotel (a beautiful new hotel set in

beautiful countryside right on top of a hill overlooking Lancashire and Yorkshire.

This was originally for 8 people who were staying bed and breakfast on Friday.

This has now grown to 25 - and we had 25 members attending the Get Together

last year, and this year, it has grown to 62. Dr Peatfield is arriving on

Friday and so is Dr Skinner and I am picking Afshin up from the airport early

Friday morning. Everybody is really looking forward to it. It is becoming quite

a 'special' occasion, and I wish you could come - heck, I wish everybody could

come - but we will be doing the needed recordings and taking plenty of

photographs.

Luv - Sheila

Dear Sheila,

I don't usually write, I just take in all your wonderful information, but on

this particular subject I felt I should.

I ordered a small amount ie 1 x 2 grain Armour it took 18 days before I was

presented with a card to collect at the RM depot with a charge of 13.34 which

was £5 VAT and £8 RM handling fee... As I was rather anxious and running out of

my Armour before this consignment arrived I decided to order more Armour and

this time use the Express Mail which is expensive to say the least, but I was

eager to get the Armour. This was for a larger amount of 2 x 1grain and 1 x

1.5. I had a card put through my door 8 days later explaining it could not be

delivered as they was an amount of £28.07 to pay, £14.57 VAT plus £13.50

Parcel-force clearance fee. So I have incurred costs of over £51 just to get my

3 tubs of Armour. I also am on a fixed income and claiming benefits but without

Armour I would hate to think where my health would be now.

I am sure this is now common ground, I understand the VAT but the RM or Parcel

force is daylight robbery in my eyes.

May I wish you all a successful and enjoyable meeting and look forward to

reading the valueable information and comments.

Kind regards

Shirley Brook

I already have this down to ask him, but I doubt he will be able

to drop the price of Armour. I have mentioned this to him before when all this

problem started, and he said that it was only right that if people could buy

Armour cheaper elsewhere, then they should do that. He has massive orders for

Armour throughout the world, so doubt this would present a problem for him if

he lost the UK business, but it would be a shame. The problem with

InHousePharmacy is that they have been out of stock of Armour for quite a few

weeks, with no hope of getting anymore in the near future. I cannot understand

this because Forest are not manufacturing all the different size grains of

Armour and InternationalPharmacy is fully stocked. I have just been to

InHousePharmacy and this is what is showing on their web site: I didn't look at

the prices for Westhroid/Nature-Throid - but suspect they will be similar to

InternationalPharmacy. So, this is a non-runner at the moment.

I had a look at Westhroid/Naturethroid on the InHousePharmacy

web site - and this is what they are showing: I think somebody should be asking

them why they don't carry more stocks of thyroid hormone replacements. This is

not good for their business, especially when we know these are all now

available elsewhere.

We can mention this at the meeting and see if he feels he can

persuade Forest to help us.

Luv - Sheila

He wouldn't need to drop the price, just sell it in smaller

quantities. It would be best if the manufacturers would put the tablets into

cards instead of bottles, but I appreciate he might not be able to persuade

them to change their packaging.

I second that too, I am considering using Inhouse too as soon as they get more armour in

The answer is I don't know, but we will be discussing this with

Afshin today.

Hi

Sheala, its me again, and yes I had to pay £18 tax on my Armour and £22

something, from Royal Mail on top. so this makes my 5 grains daily for

Armour even more exspensive, what can we do about it please. Love Louise.
