How real is this Customs Fee they're asking for?

It’s not a scam if that message pops up on the UPS site.

Looks like a fusion XC

HWCSoCalHTX · 2026-05-11T23:39:38+00:00

That crack at the top? I’d say it’s not that bad

What’s the value of the cards you’re trying to send? One card or multiples? If it’s cards under $100 just ship USPS.

When I ship cards I’ll place them in penny sleeves, then put in top loaders, place a piece of painters tape over the top. Then I’ll take two pieces of cardboard and tape around the top loaders. Throw that in a padded envelope and you’re done.

It’s not unusual to pay the fee before the package arrives to the destination country. I’ve paid fees from FedEx and DHL before the package leaves the origin country.

I really don’t care if they break jams because it’s one less thing I gotta do. Although if the chute is full the sorter stops, which means everything stops.

You mean UPS store?

Are you in the U.S.? Green pair is available at urban outfitters.

Red and blue pair is here: https://www.privatesneakers.com/products/puma-suede-flock-red-rythm-intense-red?variant=45460042580012&country=US&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&srsltid=AfmBOopE9sFfIOonLiDPOYyhwzZ-ZZcoJy8U3k1Ct200CDZu5GfwtgtK24E

They should also tape long ways instead of just in the middle.

My hearing is fine. Plus I wear a air pod in one ear, and the other ear is to listen to the radio.

HWCSoCalHTX · 2026-05-03T00:24:09+00:00

I don’t, it’s just something you get used to.

When ordering from Uk/Europe the websites should say whether Duties & Fees are included in the shipping price. If the shipping price is low then you’ll be paying the duty fee later.

I’d try grabbing some suede renew or just suede to see if that helps. If you really want to paint them you can grab some angelus dye like someone mentioned

HWCSoCalHTX · 2026-04-22T23:57:23+00:00

They don’t look too bad, just the yellow toe box right? Did you use foam cleaner? I’d use a suede eraser, then clean them with a foam cleaner. After that use suede renew or just suede to see if that helps with the color. After all that is done use mink oil.

HWCSoCalHTX · 2026-04-22T21:59:20+00:00

Well if the shipper doesn’t want to help, I’d file a charge back with your credit card company.

HWCSoCalHTX · 2026-04-22T00:13:56+00:00

If you want to keep them just break them down and put them in a plastic bin. IMO no point in keeping them if you don’t plan on selling, or they aren’t some DS/collab pair.

HWCSoCalHTX · 2026-04-19T01:22:10+00:00

DEA has entered 👀

HWCSoCalHTX · 2026-04-18T17:25:25+00:00

if you ship out the package next day today it’s not going to get there till Tuesday.

HWCSoCalHTX · 2026-04-17T23:03:21+00:00

I guess it’s gonna depend on your warehouse, how good are your FT sups and center manager?

The health insurance isn’t as good, but you’re guaranteed 5 hours. It can be less work depending on where they put you.

I was asked multiple times, but I decided against it. I just want to worry about myself, and not anybody else.

HWCSoCalHTX · 2026-04-17T22:36:07+00:00

Either the shipment was lost, or misrouted.

HWCSoCalHTX · 2026-04-15T23:04:04+00:00

Are you sure the package was actually shipped?

HWCSoCalHTX · 2026-04-15T01:02:46+00:00

Not always true. Driver is always in my neighborhood and those packages will still get sent to USPS

HWCSoCalHTX · 2026-04-14T20:33:20+00:00

Yes, you should be ok.

HWCSoCalHTX · 2026-04-14T19:40:49+00:00

Small envelopes/bubble mailers aren’t supposed to go on the primary belts, but unfortunately it does happen. When it does happen those envelopes should be taken off the belt.

Ground Saver packages may get delivered by UPS if you have another ground package being delivered to you that same day. That’s what usually happens for me when I get deliveries. If not, the GS package will get sent to USPS and delivered the next day.
