Fedax ****mers

To say I’m so sad and disappointed would be an understatement. I bought 1 item overseas weighing 0,4 kg and I got an invoice for customs of up to 3500.

Is it really that expensive or am I being ****med because now I can’t afford to pay double for a hand bag.

Good day Assy

The total value of your shipment is R5,895.86, the commodity  attracts a 30% duty, resulting in a payable customs fee of R3,157.25. These charges were calculated in accordance with the applicable customs regulations.

We understand that customs fees can sometimes be unexpected, especially when importing goods from overseas. Our aim is always to be transparent with our billing, and we are here to help clarify any questions you might have.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,

Can you please assist in getting the shipment returned as I can’t pay for that amount and it’s not in my possession for me to return.

It’s unfair that we are only told about this after the package gets to you.

As requested, we will initiate the process to return the shipment to the sender and communicate with them accordingly.

Regarding the customs charges, it's important to note that it is typically the responsibility of the shipper or seller to inform the recipient of any potential customs duties and taxes before shipping. These charges are determined by customs authorities in the destination country, based on the value and type of goods being imported. Unfortunately, as the shipping carrier, we only facilitate the process and do not control or predict these charges.

Best regards,

Can you please assist with returning the product as I actually requested this on Friday last week.

So sad that on your website the custom fees you have stated that it’s 5% but on the other hand one get charged half the price of the product I bought.

Please advise when I can get feedback with regards to the return as I can’t log it on my side as I don’t have the product
