yeah

that's the the risk of shopping in china

And like

Idk if I fucked up ordering through DHL

absolutely

nice

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

which is a red flag to customs

<:pepestressed:327933525124841482>

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

Dear this phone is 25 dollars

<:aliOK:251417852156837888>

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

Cause right now it's handled through DHL

anything going through DHL goes through proper customs

because IIRC they have their own customs offices

But DHL also takes a cut for handling customs I think

DHL = getting fucked by customs 100% of the time

Lesson learned lmao

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

and then your package just smooth sails into your hands

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

A graphics tablet

Well

It took em 10 days to get here
