Just got some mail from FEDEX with the customs charges for something i bought from the states about a month ago ~$350 (so decent customs charge, ~£50). I haven't opened the letter and it is not quite correctly addressed, hence why it probably took so long to reach me.

return it unopened with not at this address?

I have an ongoing dispute with them for 3 years.

I don't live in England and they want me to pay import duty to HM Customs. The product (Dry suit) was never imported in to the UK.

Be wary as Fedex won't contact you again, it will be a debt collection agency. I have them fighting with each other at the moment.

I am happy to pay the charges to my local customs however fedex can't be arsed to arrange this.

it arrived in 2 days, FEDEX sends custom charges in the mail after it had been delivered.

I'd pay it, lot of hassle for $50 otherwise surely?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
