I have had nothing but good service from Parcelforce.  I much prefer
it to the dreadful courier services.  They will have passed on any
costs that they had to bear; mind you it would not be surprising that
if company that bought it from Royal Mail were bad; the ghastly
Conservative Government of the early 90s sold it for £1 (that's $1.55
or ¤1.60 ;-)) as I remember.

Even with the extra charges...£15.50 customs duty, £43.25
customs VAT, and £7.75 to have it delivered by good old parcel force when
full postage had already been paid I feel I have a good deal,

Exactly why we have re-named them "Parcel Farce".  This, and their total
inability to deliver anything on-time, intact.
