The goods should now be here in UK in the next couple of days. Can chinese customs do this and what charges are they likely to be hit with when they reach the uk.

Did he even have someone on the other endto do an inspection at least or anything.....chinese customs have nothing to do with it if the products are for export..

Sorry to hear that man...

Just been told from my friend they contacted the trader enquiring on the EMS tracking Number they were given as apparently it was tracked for delivery today, They were told the goods were still in china as they had paid a agent £600 to get them through customs and now there is a second final agent ,they are wanting a further £350 to clear the goods ( which i have told them NOT to pay) this second agent thing apparently only started around 2 months ago, they also stated that after this they will not have to pay customs when they reach the UK.

The website they bought the goods from is www.wtoebe.com

Oh no! that's a clear scam site. Unfortunately there is nothing else you can do.

Can a mod move this to bad suppliers and maybe stick the site in the title to help with search results
