So here's the thing, I've never made any claims about how things are getting through the EU to the UK, all I said was a comment about my experience getting things shipped in to the country since Brexit happened.
Let's look at the original quotes

"Entertainingly we have not yet started checking inbound goods on our side of the channel, that’s October the 1st."Sumo said:
"That explains why I haven't had a single customs charge for any the shit I've bought from China."I don't want to get in to a big discussion about our border and customs process, I made an observation and you seem to have taken this as a challenge.
Sumo-
"That explains why I haven't had a single customs charge for any the shit I've bought from China."
I also haven't had a single customs charge for the things I've imported from China although I do that a lot less often than I do from the EU.
I made an observation
Which I don't understand the relevance to Brexit.

Depends how it was 'shipped'. At a sea port if it arrives by container on a boat. At an air port if arriving by plane.
(pre-Brexit) At the EU border if arriving by land but I'm not sure how much arrives that way?
Are you suggesting things are transiting through the EU in a customs sealed way (TIR Convention?) who no longer check it because it is exiting the EU and then the UK are not checking it either because it has come from the EU?
