Marking down parcel

[sj33]

I did always think that marking down was fine, I'd simply only be insured for the lower amount if it ever went missing. However, I got this reply when I asked PA to mark down a Wii preorder -

Hello Jake,

thank you for contacting Play-Asia.com

We can mark only 10% of the price. Please be reminded that you will not
be compensated in full in case the parcel is lost or damaged during
transit. Further in case customs do not believe the value and seize the
goods, it will be out of our control and we will not replace the parcel.
Please confirm if you still wish us to go ahead.

If you have any further question, please do not hesitate to ask.

Best regards,

Michelle

Same with me and the x360 i got the exact same reply.

I decided not to take a chance and did not get it marked down...got hit with a large ups bill though

Well, Wii costs ?348 including shipping, what should I expect to pay on that? Do they take cheque?

Well as far as we are aware it's VAT only on consoles so expect a bill of about ?60 plus whatever UPS/DHL/Parcel Farce fancy cahrging you for the customs entry.

After reading this, I've been scared even more... might just have to accept it...

Do they usually accept cheque or Visa Electron?

ups take visa

i was quite annoyed as i actually had the cash for them but the driver left the parcel at my work place while i was not there

then i got a bill about 1 month later
