Can I claim if Customs open &amp; damage my parcel even though contents clearly labelled &amp; nothing was found
<p>A model train was sent from Canada to UK &amp; clearly marked. It took a year to make &amp; was then sold. It has been drilled by customs from bottom to top &amp; the buyer no longer wants it. He was charged £101 when delivered for the pleasure of having his train ruined.
