    UPS Contact Information - Importing/Exporting/Claims/Billing

    Just issued a MCOL claim against UPS Limited to stimulate a response to all the issues and claims I have with them. Has anybody else seen a deterioration in UPS over the last years? Have they tried to cut costs and consequentially their admin staff are overwhelmed?

    Can we be both the Exporter and the Importer of the same shipment?

    Hi Thanks, the videos were useful. They were dealing with the reverse situation, but there seems to be a relationship between who the importer is and the incoterms. DDP - The exporter is also the importer DAP - The receiver is the importer All seems to be leading to the definition of...

    Can we be both the Exporter and the Importer of the same shipment?

    Hi Yes, we are using UPS. On the German side, we declare the exports in the German ATLAS system. On the UK import side, UPS are declaring the imports. We can encourage them to do this in a particular way if required with the accompanying documentation.

    Accounts Production - doing it myself

    I've decided to produce my own statutory accounts this year. Sage 50 basically does it all including depreciation. My accountant inputs the same 3 corrective journals each year that I'm familiar with and I'll save a tonne of money and not have to wait for them to file them. I combine the TB...

    Worldpay - anyone settle into EUR and USD accounts?

    DCC is just for terminal transactions as far as I know.. Worldpay's official line is that for EUR-GBP and USD-GBP settlement, the RBS commercial rates are used. However, the conversions being used for my transactions since May have been around 2% off that. So I've opened a complaint and will...

    Worldpay - anyone settle into EUR and USD accounts?

    well, there are additional fees on top of that for inter-regional, ecommerce, plus the card scheme blended rate. It works out more than PayPal when combined with the 4% exchange rate load. And of course it's all far from transparent so you have to build spreadsheets to see where it all is..

    Worldpay - anyone settle into EUR and USD accounts?

    Does anyone using Worldpay as an acquirer settle their Euro and US Dollar payments into bank accounts of the same currency? We currently settle the Euro and US Dollar payments into a Sterling account and I've just seen that Worldpay are taking a 4% conversion fee out, ouch! If you are settling...

    HSBC Overdraft - they change rates and tell you afterwards!

    Valid question Chris.. I will admit it's not a decision devoid of emotion. However, I have a high success rate for the few battles I choose, and the potential reward is between £500-£1000 for around 5-8 hours total work. My result may also help others experiencing the same scenario and I get to...
