Just wondering if anyone else has a problem receiving post here??? It can take over three weeks for a parcel to arrive from England...or more commonly it doesn't arrive at all....
Anyone else in the same situation???

I have been receiving mail in Lithuania for about 7 years.  Slow sometimes, but always got everything.  The delays were often caused by people on the other end bot filling out customs forms properly.  If items are over about 50 USD in value, they are possibly subject to VAT taxes.  I have had to pay them once, but only rightly so, according to their rules.  The VAT sucks, but their low income taxes are great.  If you are frequently receiving goods that are too valuable, or are possibly banned items,,,  I don't know, have you reviewed the regulations?
