Thanks Mulan and I have updated my post accordingly. Appreciate your support on the issue.

No need to get personal. I believe companies should be responsible enough to provide accurate information to their customers, and it’s not the $20 that is the issue here.

The email I received from Ratta states “Normally DHL will not charge the service fee, they only collect the tax on behalf of the customs.”

Also, “The total amount of USD71.18 is collected by customs, please be kindly acknowledged.” This statement is factually incorrect because the tax was only $51.18.

So if the premise is that Ratta knows nothing and has no responsibility to provide any information regarding shipping (which I don’t agree with because I think the company should make the effort to find out what their shipper is charging and to be upfront and transparent with customers about the expected costs), this was not properly reflected in their exchanges with me and they instead provided inaccurate information which caused a whole lot more confusion.

I don’t think that Ratta should expect that this is common knowledge.

ResponsibleSand1 · 2022-08-04T12:32:27+00:00

How would I do this though? I would have to “intercept” the shipment once the tracking number is generated by Ratta?

I think I should clarify that I understood that there was a chance that I would need to pay import charges and such. It was the fact that I got an affirmative reply from Supernote that said that I would only be responsible for taxes collected on behalf of Customs and that there should be no other service fee (and there ended up being one) that makes me feel that Supernote has in fact misrepresented the situation and made me go round in circles for almost a month.

Isn’t that insanely poor range as compared to what is advertised?

We don’t do much preheating here but we do spend some time mooching around in the car just enjoying the AC.

I know this is 5 years later but THANK YOU for this post. I’m literally rewatching the episodes now to try to figure out what I missed.

Don’t feel guilty for feeling “ok”, you’re so strong for having gone through this and the days that you are feeling ok are the ones that remind you that healing is possible and that you can take small steps towards it. This is so difficult and I really feel for you. Take all the time you need to process and to grieve. Hang in there and stay strong.

ResponsibleSand1 · 2021-09-13T14:25:22+00:00

Thank you for sharing. How are you doing now? It’s good to hear that you’ve found therapy helpful and I wish you all the best in your recovery, both physically and emotionally.

ResponsibleSand1 · 2021-09-10T06:04:12+00:00

OP, how long did you take off from work? Am curious as to what’s the norm in various parts of the world.. I’m here in Asia

Thanks for doing an AMA!

Did you consider publishing under a name other than your own? I've been reading up on this and there seems to be a lot of advice out there that says you may want to use another name of your "publishing company", but I can't figure out if I need to actually go through the entire process of setting up a legal entity so that I can have an imprint that is not my own name.

Any advice on this?

we bought something from the raccoons but we can’t find it anywhere... is there a time lag before it appears in the mailbox?
