I thought BFL paid the import tax.
ROTFL. No, you have to pay VAT, import duty and handling fee.

Mine took approx 2 weeks. They send you a note in the post to say they have it and that you owe import tax (20% of total value). You can pay this over the phone or online I think. Once you have paid, it is delivered the next day!!
Have you paid the import tax? It'll sit forever until you do. 
Huh? I thought BFL paid the import tax. I've not heard of anyone in the UK having to paying import tax on BFL items.
Expect to pay import VAT (20%) at a minimum. I think I had a small amount (like 1% or so) import duty on top of that. Plus the ParcelForce customs processing fee, of course.
They'll contact you with details of how much to pay but it will take a few days. Expect the whole process to take around a week - maybe a little more.

My BFL unit sat in Canada customs for 5 days apparently. I received it and checked my tracking status, and it was apparently still in customs even though I had it. You will likely receive it before your tracking status changes.
Is the pricetag on the invoice correct?
This is BFL we are talking about. If they set it incorrect would that cause the delay?
If it is incorrect and they found it, yes, it could be the problem.
