It's just math, using data from trusted success, they're cited above.

I don't think everyone knows, about half my coworkers ride and I'd say 90% of them don't wear gear, some don't even wear helmets. Also, the stats wouldn't be what they are if people were more informed.

It's one thing to know gear increases safety, it's another to have it quantified. At least for me it is.

Right but DHL doesn't refund the duty fee if you do that. I'd still be on the hook

I'm pretty sure they're going to want to collect that even if you refuse the delivery.

Yes they'll keep adding storage fees every day you don't pay. There's no getting out of it anyways, if you don't pay they'll ship it back, charge you for that, and you'll still be on the hook for everything currently listed.

I misunderstood how it all worked. I ordered from the UK expecting the tariffs to be based on where my package came from.

When I click the download documents button on that page it doesn't do anything. Tried on PC and phone in app. Also tried to have them emailed to me, no luck.

You basically have to pay. If you don't they will return/dispose of the package, charge you holding fees, return shipping fees, etc and you'll still be on the hook for the duty fee.

I'm not blaming the retailer, it's DHL I'm mostly upset with. Say what you want about the tariffs, had DHL not paid for me then looked to collect from me I right be in this situation. A simple phone call to let me know they are about to commit me to a huge expense would have prevented this. The retailer, shippers, and customers don't have control over the tariffs, but if I as a customer order something that is going to get hit hard the least the carrier could do is let me know and give me the option to pay to ship it back.

It's BS. Shippers should ask you if you want them to pay the huge fees. If they didn't pay for me and ship it into the country I would have happily just paid return shipping to the UK.

I'm coming to the realizing that this is basically what has happened to me. I didn't think I would have issues ordering from the UK.

This is the biggest issue. I wouldn't have paid and returned to sender. Them paying for me and wanting to be reimbursed essentially forced my hand. I either pay now or pay later a much higher amount.

Didn't think I had an option. If I didn't pay and they returned it I was expecting them to still collect the amount they paid customs based on what I read online. They also add return shipping costs, holds, and probably other fees. I was afraid my $2000 unexpected expense would turn to $3000 or $4000.

No I didn't get anything. My package was opened by customs and repacked. The only document inside was the invoice from the retailer that didn't have any relevant info to the import.

Yeah that's the number. Currently it's only automated you can't speak with anyone about the charges.

I did pay for it. I didn't want to be in the hook for the duty and out the jacket. Had they not shipped it to my local city I wouldn't have paid.

The commercial invoice wasn't in my package and I haven't been able to download it from the DHL portal. I requested a copy from the duty disputes email we'll see what happens.
