Apohealth has been my go-to company for some years for b12 ampoules and folic acid. This time, I allowed extra days for placing my order, before my stocks ran out, as it has been slower than expected in the past. But this time it was so delayed that my stock of b12 ran out. I contacted customer services and they replied very quickly but only to update me that Parcelforce are holding my order as I need to pay a customs charge. I've never had to pay this before and no explanation as to why was forthcoming from customer service, only the response that they did not know how many the additional charge was. After Googling, it transpires that my order this time had (only just) gone over the customs charge threshold of £135. The additional cost was £43.40. It would be useful if Apohealth could highlight this when you place the order. It was a lot easier to contact Parcelforce and pay the fee with them over the phone than trying to get information from customer services as to the delay! Parcelforce are delivering tomorrow but I'm hoping my b12 ampoules are still fit for purpose with the delays, as they need to be kept in a cool place. Summertime ordering is not ideal but essential to ensure I always have a good supply of my essential vitamin.
