DHL TO Phils

[tone]

I finally got around to calling DHL and it seems that they want $22 in tax for the import of the wedding DVD, the declared value was 1p.
So I told the DHL woman I wasnt going to pay and that they can RTS the package which is what is now going to happen.

I asked how the value of $22 had come to when usually these were based on % of value - it compares to the Wonga.com school of interest rates!!! She responded that they make it up as they go along and usually its down to the individual there... and for that reason alone I wouldnt pay...

In the meantime I have created an ISO image of the DVD and used "Dropbox" to upload and someone there has downloaded it and burned it to a DVD. Dont know why I didnt do this in the first place!

£35 wasted but I wasnt going to put Php 1000 in some idiots pocket..

Thanks for the feedback Tone. Very interesting.

I wonder why DHL didn't contact you and tell you about this

Anyway, on balance I would have done the same and refused to pay.
