Hey! *high five* I want to let you know, your SSS gift to me last year is still one of my favourite customs! And it is the only thing hanging on my walls in my room <3
Ah i see, so now even registered airmail isn't safe :( sigh...but registered SAL takes like 2~3 months TT^TT that's so long. How long does it normally take for your SAL package to arrive to you? Did any of your registered airmail and EMS packages with the value of under $50 get hit with customs?
Oh man, that's why i was so confused with all the little charges that add it to a $43.29 fee. So even if I get it re-evaluated, I would still have to pay $18~$24 :(
So out of the two choices that the Canada Border Services Agency told me: 1) Pay for the customs fees at the post office and then request a refund from the government, attaching the invoices from FJ to show them proof of the items and the values or 2) Request the post office to send the package back for an appeal, so the customs can revisit the package and reassess it. You would suggest that I go with option 1) and then request a refund from the government? Or just pay the fee and forget about it?
Aww that is so heartwarming to know ^^ you just made my day brighter, thank you! <3
Yeah :( the day I had to pay for customs with my registered airmail parcel was very sad... Registered SAL takes around 3 weeks for me :) it's nothing compare to airmail or EMS, but I am willing to wait to save some money ^^
Actually, EMS is super random. I am not really using it because of that reason, but I did notice something: none of my huge package have been hit by customs, no mater that the value was (Life size plushies for example). xD it's so weird!
No 1 looks like a better option, but I would personaly just pay and forget about it xD that's what I always did. But that's just me of course.
^^ That painting is very special to me. I really love it! :)
Ah i see, so registered SAL isn't too bad then. Cus FJ shows that it could take 2~3 months for it to arrive or something like that unless i remembered it wrong. I guess waiting for 3 weeks won't hurt as long as I don't have to pay for customs.
I know right? That's why I was so confused when this package, smaller than any of my EMS packages got hit with customs. It was so weird.
I guess that I should just pay and forget it since after knowing that the actual customs fees consists of 3 part charges, it doesn't seem I would get much back even if i request a refund from the government later on. At least I should be thankful that it wasn't in USD and that it wasn't over $100.
