I'm sure you know well enough ..............
Should I tell?
Or should I leave that up to somebody else?
Ok, I'll spill the beans. As I'm sure everyone is curious. Skip already knows as I told him. I sent Parkster a bomb a few days ago, and I really stepped up the game to go over the top. Well as I remember there were something like 14 sticks I put in there. Some are personal favorites of mine, some were not common. No ISOM's as they are easy to come by where he is.
Well now comes the bone head thing, I had to fill out forms for customs. I made sure to put down that it was a Christmas gift. Thinking no way they would tax a Christmas gift. Wrong, the bastards made him pay $140 dollars for my little bomb.
I felt terrible, I offered to pay the taxes for my screw up, as I had no intention to have a gift sent from me cost Dave a dime. It certainly takes away from the fun of receiving a gift and again I feel horrible about it, not to mention embarrassed.
Dave I still insist on refunding you the money you had to shell out on the taxes.
I would also like to ask the advise of what I could have been able to put down on the customs form to avoid this. Some other members might also like to know so this could be avoided again.
