Default Help with delivery from America

I ordered some Prosport Gauge's direct and there told me 6-10 days and gave me tracking details

here there are

September 23, 2010 2:41 pm Attempted Delivery Abroad
September 23, 2010 1:33 am At Foreign Delivery Unit
September 22, 2010 11:49 am Out of Foreign Customs
September 20, 2010 3:40 pm Arrived Abroad
September 17, 2010 9:32 pm ISC MIAMI FL (USPS), International Dispatch
Arrival
September 16, 2010 Electronic Shipping Info Received

Im guessing cause its from America thats why we are classed as abroad. But what i don't get is it says attempted delivery abroad today 2.41, Ive been in the office all day and nothing has turned up.

Im a bit worried anyone Know who USPS use in the UK

When I order stuff from abroad and it gets sent initially by USPS, it hits our side under parcel force. Who deliver it then about a week later give you a bill for customs etc.

USPS Is United States Postal Service, will be collected from UK customs and delivered to you by Parcel Farce or Post Office (dependent upon size of package), get ready to pay Import Duty, handling charges and VAT on everything.

That sounds familiartakes the **** that they don't tell you this before hand and our government take it even more for wanting money just to bring something in to the country

Shane, just got some Perrin stuff from the States, arrived tuesday. Parcel Farce do the delivery, but they send you a letter first telling you how much VAT you have to pay + £8 for themselves you choose your delivery date when you pay, they ignore that and deliver the day after

Can I ask a question about these guages... i've got them (water temp, boost and oil pressure)

They light up white and then turn red/amber, is there anyway to keep them white and stop them turning red/amber? They're all linked together in a 3 gauge pod.

Cheers
