Question from the UK!

Hi,

Can anyone tell me what the “minimum necessary description” required would be for packeges despatched to the UK please? :slight_smile:

This is the one thing keeping me from getting involved and this seems a reasonable enough question - not getting an answer is quite a disappointment. :confused:

i think the reason your not getting any answers is that people dont know what you mean. Atleast, i dont have a clue as to what you mean ^^

I don’t really understand your question either, but if you could post it with a more descriptive subject line it’s more likely to catch Jasmin’s attention.

I’m guessing this is a question about what they put on the packages to tell customs what is in them and the value of the contents?

If so, I think this has already been answered in one of the other forums - I am sure I saw it there. I know Jasmin has been really busy because of problems with one of the US delivery companies or I am sure she would have answered you.

I’ll try doing a search later and seeing if I can find the thread and post a link for you.

Actually, it was easier to find than I thought, it’s on the first page of the store announcement and feedback forum.

Again, I’m not sure if this is what you meant, I just post here I don’t work for the company so I don’t know about the process of sending stuff from the US to the UK. But scroll down through the posts and see if this covers it.

It is the description of the contents that I am concerned with finding out as I don’t live alone and it could be signed for by someone else.

theres no way to tell who the package is from, the closest to anything with androstics on it is “APR”, it comes in a standard global priority mail envelope (mine did atleast) so no worries there :slight_smile:

I think he means the description on the customs form …

The Global Priority Mail Flat Rate Envelope that i received my order in from Androtics in has a statement written on the envelope which says " If your mailpiece weighs 16 ounces or more or may be dutiable,affix appropriate customs declaration form."

I received my 2 x 30mL Spray bottles of pheromones here in Australia, and there was no customs declaration sticker attached.

I doubt that 2 or 3 bottles of pheromones are going to weigh in at over 16 ounces, and i dont think that receiving your pheromones are going to carry any added duty that has to be paid to customs in the uk.

I dont think there can really be a major customs problem with these small mailpieces.

Most of my orders from Androtics USA to Australia have arrived within 11 days from ordering.

There may be issues posting to the UK that i am not aware off,
So i am just stating the facts to the discription of my envelope received here in AUS. :slight_smile:

I don’t think we should be discussing what Androtics writes on their packages.. it’s up to them. If anything take it to PM with Jasmin, but not here…

I apologise if I had been rude I merely wanted to be sure that if someone else gets the door for me that they won’t be going “Oi mate got a packege for you here, it says it’s your “Pheremone Sprays”!”. That’s all.

I understand what you mean, but Jasmin’s the one you should talk to. She will tell you for sure.

I’ve been trying and no joy! I think I’m just going to forget it. I think it’s unlikely these products work, but was willing to try it out. All I wanted was a reassurance that me placing an order would not cause me social ridicule, and if no one can give me that guarantee then I’ve already wasted too much time here.

Can’t seem to get an answer which puts a dead stop on buying anything for the mo :frowning:

Well, I just got another delivery to the Uk. I used the Global Priority Mail - I think it is the default setting in the shop.

I’ve got the envelope in front of me right now. Nowhere on it, at all, does it say pheromones. In fact according to the info that the United States Postal Services (not jas or the site) pre-print onto their envelopes for this, unless the weight of the package is over 16 ounces it does not seem to need a customs declaration.

“Customs. If this item weighs 16 ounces or more affix the customs declaration PS Form 2976”

Please note I am not stating what Androtics write on envelopes, this is what USPS pre print onto their international flat rate envelopes.

And the return address does not mention pheros either.

But as others have said, your best bet is to pick up the phone and call Jas. I am based in the UK and so I know nothing about regulations for posting from the US to the UK.

Jas will know. Call her you will get an answer a lot more quickly and she doesn’t bite! :slight_smile:

Never did get an answer from Jasmin despite sending several messages. This is ridiculous, and I am hereby giving in. Is this the level of “service” provided? I can’t order with confidence, so fuck it, I ain’t ordering jack shit. I’ve been hugely put off by this whole experience - I asked a simple fucking question and getting an answer is clearly not on the menu so goodbye.:angry:
