About to get hit with the dreaded FedEx brokerage charge. I just filled out these forms less than 4 months ago. I have the forms already, any way to avoid FedEx "processing" this? And I'll get hit with another charge when my Vass come in!!

Thanks everyone. I am looking forward to receiving them. Kev, those turned out great.

Namor, "self clearing" seems to involve you having to go to your local customs office, getting some papers signed and potentially paying a duty and then taking the forms back to FedEx. For me, that may be a little too much! Not a fan of going to JFK, unless I have to do so.

Did you guys make sure to change your PayPal shipping address when you paid? Standard procedure for it to put your billing address when paying for invoices...


Of course I did. I also took the time to e-mail Pepe/Jose/Sandro after the orders were placed to reconfirm that (Paypal) shipping address.

Thanks Kev, they are some unique looking boots. At the end I had to return them, regretfully. I've since placed another order for a double monk boot in burgundy shell. The wait begins
Again :D


I thought they were simply going to relast/resole those down .5 size for you...

Those are beauties. Meermin should: 1) make those a staple model 2) arrange some vigorish for you for the prototyping

Excellent suggestions. I was thinking the same, because I want to order some without the MTO pricing!
