Well i cant be wrong either since ive never been charged. im speaking from my experience. You ARE wrong because youre saying everyone will be charge regardless of value if item is crossing borders, and theres plenty of people here that have not been charged. I am sure you have read that through this thread.

Again you're are wrong, I typed the majority of people only had to pay because customs are more thorough during the holidays, most company's put items down as gift so you're not charged extra. The point im making is there's no limit for duty taxes, if there was you wouldn't find a bag of candy in a duty free store, anything bought in a duty free store is exempted from the duty tax you'd have to pay in the border you're traveling too.

Ive ordered at all times of the year, holiday season, non holiday season, never been charged. none of the items were marked gift, all had values. But whatever bro.

yeah, you do have to notify them, but they don't charge on merchandise coming into the US unless the declared value is over $200USD. (don't know why people are talking about $250)
Also, I'm not regurgitating info I've read on the internet from other conversations. I have lots of stuff shipped to me from international destinations and thats what it is.

You've been lucky, but you could be billed a year after purchase, I'm not saying everyone gets charged, just letting you know it doesn't matter if it's over £250 or not, it's actually hit or miss but towards the holidays you're more likely to be caught.

That's because you are are from England. I lived there for 5 years, portugal for 2 and Italy for 3. US Customs is simply based on the value and if listed as gift or merchandise. You don't have to claim every single thing you buy.

Thanks for clearing all that up I'm more confident in my purchase... I guess they're European pairs because it also looks like they're was a large sticker on the left shoe insole...

all the boasting about people cus they got x many pairs for a lower price, is just as bad as the people crying they dont have any pairs
^^^ True dat...and these were the same ones that were bashing on people about having "fake pairs" and asking for proof...then disappeared when they got proven wrong

So let me start off my cool story bro. Ordered 3 pairs. One from Mental Kicks on 12/19/11 because I was worried about not being able to cop these due to working extended holiday hours. And two pairs from Crooked Tongues on 12/23/11 when I got home from work around 1am and miraculously saw they still had some in stock for ordering. Paid shipping for both at CT but they shipped one of my orders with the sneaker saver (free and slow shipping with no tracking) option so it's still in transit.
Fast forward today, I received my MK pair from the mailwoman and my CT pair earlier this week. Both shipped by USPS.
Now on to the part where you guys care about. The comparison between the CT pair and MK pair.
I apologize beforehand for any huge pictures and the quality. Only have this crappy cellphone camera on hand with me. If you guys want to request better pictures of something for comparison just ask and I'll see if I can borrow my sister's camera.

Both packages. Maybe CT splitting up my order was a good thing and saved me on any custom fees. [+]

Like on some of the videos posted before, the MK box had a different feel on the 23 and jumpman from the CT box. The MK box did have that indentation feel whereas the CT box had a deeper indentation on them. The grooves felt deeper and more bold on the CT boxCT box on top, MK on bottom. MK box had the suggested retail tab for $180 and they were charging $260 for these.I paid the extra $10 to have my shoe double boxed and bubbled wrapped [+]
-
Inside the MK box, there was this purple stain on the paper and a strong smell. The CT pair had no stains and did not have that strong smell. [+]
-
The stamp inside the CT box. [+]
As you can see the paper is a little different too. Same colors but the pattern is a bit different.No stamp inside the MK box. [+]
-
Size tag on CT shoe. [+]
MK tag. Sorry it's a bit blurry, it says at the end 09/08/11 [+]
-
On to the shoes straight out from the box. Left pair MK right pair CT. You can already tell the shape is different. The MK pair is more fat/wide while the CT pair is slimmer. [+]
-
Side by side toe down view of the left shoe. Left shoe is MK, right is CT [+]
The right shoes. Left is MK, right is CT [+]
-
Side by side rear view of the left shoe. The left one is from MK and the right is from CT [+]
Up close view of the MK shoe. [+]
Up close view of the CT shoe. [+]
-
Side by side rear view of the right shoe. PL cut is higher on the MK pair pictured on the left. [+]
Close up of the MK shoe. Not as bad as the left shoe but still not perfect like the CT shoe. [+]
-
The jumpman and 23 on the left shoe. MK on left, CT on right. [+]
Same view again for the right shoe. MK on left, CT on right. [+]
-
The tongue on my MK pairs. At least it doesn't say JOQDAN.[+]
Spoiler [+]
-
Toe box. MK pair on the left, CT pair on the right. [+]
Sorry for crappy quality but you can see through the toe on the MK pair. [+]
The MK pair had a more blue shade compared to the CT pair.Close up of the CT shoe. Can't see through at all. [+]

The sole view of the left shoe. MK on top, CT on bottom [+]
Same view of the right shoe. MK on top, CT on bottom [+]
