3 weeks still no parcel

<p>My parcel of less than 1kg has been held up at customs for 3 weeks. I sent all the necessary requested documents, 3 weeks ago. Only received a bill of R1600 for a parcel valued at R2154 last week Wednesday that is less than 1kg a week ago. I was sooo sick of waiting that I agreed to pay the amount immediately for the release of my goods. I am still waiting for my goods to be released. After agreeing to pay. Fedex, is honestly the worst. No one expains how the amounts are calculated, you are told 3 working days which turns into 3 whole weeks. No transparency, ridculous waiting periods and expensive! I will honesly never use Fedex again and I urge everyone never to use it again. How it takes this long to get 1 tiny little parcel is beyond me. </p>

Dear Unathi

Thank you for taking my call, please accept my apology for any frustration caused, see below sequence of events. This is a query with customs and until resolved we unfortunately will not be able to release the shipment. Final clearance has not been granted by SA Customs as yet. I have asked our clearance agent dealing with customs to contact you telephonically to resolve any further queries customs may have. The shipment has been inspected, proof of purchase has been requested for the items. There is also a question of undeclared items.

Please note that penalties could be imposed by the South African Revenue Services depending on the outcome of the results.

Kind regards

Best regards,
