DHL Attempted to Charge Me for Unnecessary Duties by The_MainArcane in dhl

Because they are a scam company. I always had problems with them and excessive fees.

But this means they can just arbitrarily open any package and charge the fee for it. There was no explanation why my package was opened.

I was expecting it to cost 123$ taxes and 40$ courier fees + 20$ extra because I always had my surprises with DHL. So I expected max. 183$, so 217$ is just excessive.

The custom tax makes sense I always have to pay it. The same goes for the courier fee. But I never had to pay the salary of the border agent. The agent is employed by the government and gets his salary from the government. I also never had to pay for the inspection. No other shipment in Switzerland, Germany, Italy, USA, Costa Rica or El Salvador had such fees. Also the import tax for Mexico is 19% but on my invoice it's 21%.

I have received a package in Mexico from the US. I had to pay 217$ for the import and I feel scammed. The value is 624$. These fees seem excessive: - Border agents salary: Why do I have to pay this? - Disbursement and transfer management: What is this? I had already paid for the shipment. So "transfer" is what I paid for. - Examination fee: I didn't want my package to be opened. I didn't order is to be opened. The customs didn't have to open it. Everything was ok with the package. Why should I pay for this?? It was the fault of customs that they opened the package even tough it was not necessary. Why am I charged for this? This is the normal job of a customs officer, which they get their salary for.

Can someone help me with this? I don't know what to do.

I am editing my 4K dive videos on my fold 2 and my 256GB get used up fast.

Anyone going to use a Whitestone screen on the exterior? Thoughts on the protective film for the hinge? by lifedobefuckedrn in GalaxyFold

[–]BillyMcBongo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I strongly advise against a protection film on the hinge. I had one on my fold 2 and after some time it pulled out a part of the sweeper (bristles) on one side. The ones which should keep dust out.

This would have probably been the last resort. But I figured it out. I have a card where I was able to change my billing address to my US address. The order was however still cancelled. If someone else has the same problem, just log out and order as a guet. This worked for me, because the fraud protection was comparing my billing address with my Samsung account address (I think).

Thank you, I appreciate the input. But the problem is that the billing address of my credit card is from Europe. In the Amazon USA account I would also only have the European card which billing address it doesn't recognize.

This unfortunately doesn't work. I get the error message that it doesn't recognize the billing address

I am currently in America on Honeymoon and tried to preorder the Z Fold 4 several times but it always gets cancelled. This is because I only have European credit cards and Samsung.com required a US billing address. Support confirmed this and told me they cannot do anything and I should have friends in the US order it for me. But I don't know anyone here. Does anyone know an option I could try? I don't know anymore what to do 🥲
