Today this beauty arrived with no duty or vat...?

Justed picked up some Fun Show pandas from Parcel Force. Has a charge but still waiting on the letter but I'm in the area so all is good.  Wonder if this letter will turn up as the last one still hasn't.
 

PF70 Panda moon festival and a Smithsonian Bei Bei. Also a Somalian Elephant. 

Just been to pickup the parcel.  Parcel arrived at the depot on Tuesday early morning so I was expecting the charge letter to be posted on Wednesday to arrive to me today.  It hasn't arrived and I wasn't going to wait any longer as it would then mean delivery may not be scheduled until possibly Tuesday.
The parcel was originally held up at customs as they requested additional info.  I don't know why they would question it since the declaration on the parcel was all in order.  The description was correct as was the value.  If a low value and ambiguous description was used, I'd understand.  $1300 for 24 pcs of silver shouldn't really flag the shipment.
None of the capsuled medals come in OMP.  No idea why.  Wasn't advertised as OMP but MCM and the Coinshoppe received their stocks and sold theirs in OMP.  If any one is bothered by this, you can cancel your order if you wish as I am happy to keep them as spares or offer them out.  Each of the Moon Pandas comes with a booklet.
VAT charge of £209.28 of order value £1052.56 = 19.9%
Customs clearance fee of £13.50 for 24 items = 57p each
Postage of $30 for 24 pcs = $1.25 each
Exchange rate charge by credit card was 1.3
Moon Panda Capsuled = $49.95 + $1.25 / 1.3 = £39.39 X 1.199 = £47.23 + 57p = £47.80
Moon Panda GEM Slabbed = $69.95 + $1.25 / 1.3 = £54.77 X 1.199 = £65.67 + 57p = £66.24
Moon Panda PF70 = $99.95 + $1.25 / 1.3 = £77.85 X 1.199 = £93.34 + 57p = £93.91
Smithsonian Panda Capsuled = $49.95 + $1.25 / 1.3 = £39.39 X 1.199 = £47.23 + 57p = £47.80
 
I will be contacting everyone tonight to price up their postage method and sort payment.

Pair of Nanjing mint copper medals, love the detail on these.

2016 65g Nanjing Panda finally turned up.  Has taken longer than usual to arrive.
Much better panda design than the 2014 60g Two Lovely Pandas aka Two Bald Pandas.

Big thanks to @Numistacker yet again for helping


 

I really like this medal in hand it looks great!! 

2014 Smithsonian Panda Medal - 500,000k max mintage but no idea on the actual.  Not sure on the actual mint but it is distributed by China Great Wall Investment Coins Ltd which is one of the subsidiary companies of the People's Bank of China and commissioned by the Smithsonian Institute and GovMint.


 
2015 Smithsonian Panda Medal - 25k mintage and distributed by China Great Wall Investment Coins Ltd and minted by Shenzhen Guobao Mint and was commissioned by the Smithsonian Institute and GovMint.
