@fuckthapolice i had customs not give me my shit because they didnt believe the declared value

i had to show them proof of payment

thats what i meant actually

undervaluing doesnt mean shit here

that's how it goes down here as well if they don't believe it

they check almost everything that comes from china

i was too much of a pussy to shop my paypal payment though

the smaller the packet the easier it is to get around customs

yeah but even then

its hard to jew the custom jew

to be fair, only my gearbest purchases ever got to customs

3/3 on gb, 0/20 from ali

I've had a package overvalued and it was over the threshold

The seller paid the $180 fees, I felt kind of bad for him since it was meant to be $240

theres always the risk of the power that be holding on to your package if its undervalued and they smell the shekel

id rather do it all legit tbh

the item's price was $240

Could the chinks fake an invoice or would customs want a bank statement?

here they just wanted a screenshot of the purchase from ebay

so it could easily been fixed with

they can fake it but ask yourself if it's even worth it

I was an honest guy back then, so just took the bill

It's worth it

@sludge I thought about faking my proof of payment, but figured it wasnt worth 7€ i would have saved vs. 600€ potential fine for fraud

you can almost take for granted that they will write $20 on the box and not leave a receipt inside

ask them if unsure

I've never had an instance where that wasn't the case though

its not usualy worth the jailtime

The fees here are $50 +15% of (purchase + shipping) if (purchase + shipping) is over $40

so $400 becoms $510

15% without admin fee?

admin fee is $50

I thought it was bad with parcelforce's £9

I don't mind paying the tax

customs workers gotta get paid

it's the admin fee that makes lower value items not worth it

So for me undervaluing things that are under 400 is pointless anyway

And I'm rarely buying things over 400
