but the declared value on the package is basically ignored by now

2017-12-27 17:42:49 UTC  

everyone knows it's bs

2017-12-27 17:44:49 UTC  

Yeah well, that's 24 bucks

2017-12-27 17:45:40 UTC  

wait

2017-12-27 17:45:45 UTC  

you paid 24 bucks?

2017-12-27 17:45:52 UTC  

or did you mean the taxes are 24 bucks

2017-12-27 17:46:13 UTC  

No, but the customs fee is 24 bucks at the absolute lowest

2017-12-27 17:46:20 UTC  

oh

2017-12-27 17:46:23 UTC  

yeah

2017-12-27 17:46:33 UTC  

that's the the risk of shopping in china

2017-12-27 17:46:44 UTC  

And like

2017-12-27 17:46:59 UTC  

Idk if I fucked up ordering through DHL

2017-12-27 17:47:04 UTC  

absolutely

2017-12-27 17:47:08 UTC  

nice

2017-12-27 17:47:29 UTC  

DHL/any other expedited shipping option basically says
"this item is valuable and I need it ASAP"

2017-12-27 17:47:36 UTC  

which is a red flag to customs

2017-12-27 17:47:47 UTC  

<:pepestressed:327933525124841482>

2017-12-27 17:48:01 UTC  

regular shipping options are like
"lmao this costs a dollar please believe <:alismirk:230784726615588865>"

2017-12-27 17:48:18 UTC  

Dear this phone is 25 dollars

I'm considering just hopping on a train and clearing it with customs myself

2017-12-27 17:48:45 UTC  

Cause right now it's handled through DHL

2017-12-27 17:49:17 UTC  

anything going through DHL goes through proper customs

2017-12-27 17:49:25 UTC  

because IIRC they have their own customs offices

2017-12-27 17:49:38 UTC  

But DHL also takes a cut for handling customs I think

2017-12-27 17:50:26 UTC  

DHL = getting fucked by customs 100% of the time

2017-12-27 17:50:38 UTC  

Lesson learned lmao

2017-12-27 17:51:00 UTC  

not that experienced with DHL, but I know they do their own customs calculations and I think you can pay order+shipping+customs at once in some cases

2017-12-27 17:51:19 UTC  

and then your package just smooth sails into your hands

2017-12-27 17:53:16 UTC  

@「sin」 what is the item? I hope it's at least worth it

2017-12-27 17:53:45 UTC
