But it's hardly a great hassle, is it? The PO send a card saying they
have a parcel with duty owing. You ring the number and pay the duty by
credit card, or send them a cheque. They deliver the parcel. You can
even request delivery to your local PO to guarantee you do not miss the
delivery, for the princely sum of 50pence!

I admit it's slightly more hassle than the old system where they would
actually deliver the parcel and you payed the duty to the postman, on
delivery.
