May Bank Holiday weekend I broke the steering on my boat - a big plate with two pulleys that fits under the binnacle. I traced the part on the Edson website and ordered a replacement by phone from them in the USA. I was very surprised when it was delivered to my home in Edinburgh (even though they had spelled it Endimbergh) on Friday, 4 days after ordering.
Today, I got a phone call from someone claiming to be FedEx telling me that there is £40 to pay for customs. That I have a customs bill I can believe, but he wanted me to give a credit card number over the phone to pay this. I declined and asked him to write. Was I excessively suspicious? Why didn't they collect the fee on delivery?
