In April I ordered a flag from the UK. It was shipped end of April by Royal Mail. The company that made the flag ship flags all over the world so I was surprised to encounter problems with Magyar Posta. Despite filling in a form they still asked for further information. The email from Magyar Posta 'Documents to be supplied: Import Customs Clearance Agreement, order confirmation, invoice. '
Looking at this link posta.hu/vam I've no idea what I should have done.

Personally, if I need to buy something from the UK, I have it sent to a friend in the UK until I can collect it myself to bring back with me ! I'm convinced that Magyar Posta make things up as they go along ... case in point ... they creamed me for 3,700 Forint import duty for receiving a birthday card from Indonesia ... just a card, nothing else in the envelope !

I might ask a friend if he's coming here this month to bring it over for me.

Magyar Posta is hit and miss at the best of times.I've had no end of letters from the UK that didn't arrive even though they were addresssed correctly.

Our Magyar Posta ladies are very good at re-directing mail from the house we lived before we moved to our own house. The annoying thing is despite forwarding details of our new address some mail from UK still goes to our previous address.

The good news is my flag arrived today but the address on the labelling wasn't in full. I've no idea if this was a Parcel Force error! Atleast it still arrived here.
