Hi, it must be the duties and taxes you were referring to. I assume freight cost was shouldered by the shipper, however, shipping costs payment will depend on your agreed shipping terms. If it's a door to door, then the shipper should advise you if you need to pay for the duties and taxes, most forwarder paid this costs in advance and just billed the recipient, but with some, charges are inclusive of the item's total price. Normal customs process takes only 1 day, if there will be no question by the custom officers.You might need to contact your shipper if you do not received any notice, just for clarifications.How long does a parcel take to get from customs to my delivery address?
I would need a little more info from you:



- Who is responsible for paying the customs charges, is it you or were they included in the shipping price from Parcel Force?



After customs have received the import duties and taxes from either yourself or Parcel Force, they release the parcel for delivery. The length of time that takes depends on which airport / port the parcel is at, and to where in the UK (I assume) it is to be delivered. Shot in the dark anywhere between 1 - 3 days probably.



I would call up Parcel Force, there are too many variables here to give you an accurate answer, and if it is them who need to pay the customs charges, you can jolly them along!How long does a parcel take to get from customs to my delivery address?
