 yes.  what that means is that someone in Europe has to be paid money
in advance by all 11 (12?) people, in order to pay for *their* customs
charges.

which in the case of parcelforce you can go along to the post office,
demand the parcel, refuse to pay the "handling" charge on the grounds
that the contract for delivery was between them and the person who
paid for shipping.

 if they insist on payment - which they should not - then you ask them
to put it into writing that they are refusing to honour a contract
which has nothing to do with you.

 but you MUST object to the "handling" charge.  if you do not, then
you have agreed to their contract (which has absolutely nothing to do
with the "delivery" contract) and MUST pay the "handling" charge.

 having objected, they will then send you a demand and an invoice.
you then object again IN WRITING, pointing out that you wish to see
the contract which was signed and agreed to by yourself (pointing out
that such a contract does not exist).

 miraculously, the next time you phone to speak to them about it they
will have no record of the existence of the invoice.
