I ordered some oem motorcycle parts not too long ago. The parts cost was ~$12 the shipping was another $8 when i placed the order. Three weeks later i come home to the parts at the front door. Fast-forward 3 more weeks and I get an unexpected invoice from fedex for $7 in duties and tarriffs. Needless to say, i’ve ignored the invoices for 5 months. -It’s not that i’m upset that there are tarriffs on stuff I purchased -it’s the fact that fedex never notified me of the bill till weeks after the delivery. Considering that its nearly the same as the cost of the parts, there’s a high probability I would have rejected the delivery instead of paying the tarriffs had I been given the option like the guy in the post.
…i crowdfunded a structural model kit a couple of years ago which finally shipped this december, received the package christmas eve, then received a $400 tariff invoice christmas day…i haven’t paid it yet; awaiting the supreme court ruling first but they just keep dragging it out…
…truth is i could probably sit on that invoice since i’ve already taken delivery, except that i’m awaiting other federal express packages which i don’t want withheld on its account…
