Rather go directly to Temu & pay less

Paid R714 for two jerseys, only to receive customs demand for another R470. Zando customer support said I should have been aware I would need to pay almost 70% extra to receive the goods. I deliberately bought from Zando to support local enterprise but i should have gone directly to Temu, paid half of what Zandi charged, and then less import tax, too. This is the last time I will "support local" in the form of Zando
