The same happend to my NW order :lol:
Since Brexit they scan every 10 dollar order at customs and want invoice etc.
Tell me about Brexit, that people in general are working from home and ordering from Asia and so on, our customs have discovered a lucrative market and there is a firm fee on every parcel, then there is the 20% of the stated value on the parcel and VAT.

A $20 parcel is plus $28 in the end.....

I found, for 2€, on a flea market in the south of France this nice nos mesh strap tapered from 26mm to 18mm, I like it but not sure how I will wear it. At this time I only have a case in shaping progress but why not?

This looks really great! If you don´t like it and want so sell it, please drop me a line. I´m a big fan of old bracelets.
