ok.. sold the dude a bicycle suspension fork for 260 bucks.
i put the value at 300 for insurance and for customs.
here's what he wrote me upon pickup:
"i got the fork today. i had to pay $92.13 for brokerage fee and taxes. because you put value at $300 they flagged it to pay taxes. if you put the value low then its not worth it for them to charge. you should have sent it through US post, all couriers will charge fees. i would like to be reimbursed for this amount."
now had i put the customs value below the insurance value-wouldn't that have raised flags. god forbid the damn thing gets lost then he'll want all his money back :roll:
say i'd put the value at 100 bucks. what would the charge be then? looks like you're gonna end up paying something either way....
i'm thinking i might try and split the difference with him. give him 45 back.
winey fucker. :roll:
