Ridiculous pricing

Dear DHL,

My husband send me a 25g hormonal cream, valued at ZAR 380 (+-$26) through Postnet, door to door from Gauteng to Monrovia in Liberia (West Africa). On arrival here DHL Liberia, asked me $15 only to have the waybill and then i still have to clear from customs.

I asked DHL Liberia a quote on doing all for me and they quote me $175 (+-R2,500). It so ******* here and DHL is making up their on prices to pocket the rest.

Is there not a fix price per kg and value to be charged. I am not prepared to pay $175 for this then they can throw it in the bin.

Dear Hester and Neels,

Thank you for taking my call and for bringing the matter to our attention.

On behalf of DHL Express, I would like to apologize for the undoubted inconvenience and undue frustration the delay in delivery of the above shipment has caused.

As discussed with Neels, I am investigating the matter with the relevant country. Please allow me some time to get the needed feedback and the matter resolved as soon as possible.

Please expect an email from me shortly.

Kind regards.
