Who, the pilot?

no customs

no customs

Why would you do that? And how do you know they have it processing and it's even on their system yet?

OP, the best thing to do is try your tracking number on ParcelForce's website and tick the 'incoming international parcel' option. It may well not be on the system yet though

Just be patient,I doubt yours is the only parcel they have to deal with.
I've always found they track well on one side of the ocean only..the other side is usually a let down..
It only makes you anxious if you try to track an item especially from somewhere like HK,2 to 3 weeks is the norm from the mountain...

To be fair I think the OP IS being patient, he just wanted to know what "Handed Over" meant, it's other people that haven't read the thread and suggested calling HMRC :p

Re: Help what does this mean!?!

so its in the country and it should be with me shortly?? I think it might mean handed over to parcle force?

Re: Help what does this mean!?!

No it clearly states that its left hong kong

now you can enjoy parcel forces shoddy services and customs!

So you may want to take some patient pills for a while because the wait has begun

The tracking number you have gets converted to a UK one depending how it comes.

What you pasted at top, is that what is showing on HK post? Track that internationally via Parcel Force, you'll get a UK number and more details about where it is!

Re: Help what does this mean!?!

try and pick it up from customs direct if you can. avoid the parcelforce fee

I ordered some MP7 parts from a wolf thats red a week ago and had this too. Apparently the plane was in the air for 2 days to get from HK to the UK (where my parcel is currently stuck in customs awaiting charges ). I would give it a couple of days and it will probably update.

The number is tracked on the parcle force website, royal mail says the same thing and hong kong says " arrived at destination"
