DHL shipping lol

2017-08-22 23:37:19 UTC  

you kinda shot yourself in the foot with that

2017-08-22 23:38:19 UTC  

parcelforce are usually okay for me

2017-08-22 23:40:13 UTC  

The registered letter from customs said that an invoice would not be accepted. Guess they know that China sellers will always just fake those. They specifically asked for either Paypal or CC bill.

2017-08-22 23:40:26 UTC  

The problem is that GearBest pretended to be the Chinese government

2017-08-22 23:41:02 UTC  

i've never ordered from GearBest is this something they actually do

2017-08-22 23:41:15 UTC  

cause I've never seen in the thread that they faked being the govt

2017-08-22 23:43:18 UTC  

Specifically, they claimed to be the "National Tourism Administration Presss" and ship from "No. 9 Jianuomen Inner Street", which is an extremely upscale area of Beijing. They even put official looking government stamps on the shipment box.

2017-08-22 23:47:51 UTC  

That's fucked up

2017-08-22 23:49:08 UTC  

That is the government office's address

2017-08-22 23:49:19 UTC  

The only time they really chinked me is when I bought a Totoro night light and it arrived in dust and pieces, they asked me to post back the dust to them. I had to dispute that hard.

2017-08-22 23:50:12 UTC  

Guess I've been lucky

2017-08-22 23:50:55 UTC  

A few things didn't turn up too but I've had that from Ali and eBay too

2017-08-22 23:51:05 UTC

Russians..

2017-08-23 00:15:39 UTC  

@DingDongChingChong can you go to a depot and collect the item?

2017-08-23 00:15:52 UTC  

nope

2017-08-23 00:16:11 UTC  

they seized a 3d printer for it being a national hazard?!

2017-08-23 00:16:29 UTC  

who fucking knows, it's the guberment

2017-08-23 00:16:41 UTC  

and you cannot call them to ask about it?

2017-08-23 00:16:46 UTC  

what the actual fuck

2017-08-23 00:16:52 UTC  

surely you can still receive it

2017-08-23 00:19:21 UTC  

Yeah this doesn't seem right

2017-08-23 00:20:26 UTC  

Harass their call centre until you find someone who can explain to you in simple terms what you must do to have your 3D printer released

2017-08-23 00:20:59 UTC  

Record the call and refer back to it if you have to

2017-08-23 00:22:02 UTC  

If they want information from you it isn't seized, it's being held until they work out an appropriate fine, once they have the info they need they release it to your door with a customs bill on it

2017-08-23 00:22:44 UTC  

If it were seized you just get a letter saying "your package is destroyed btw"

2017-08-23 00:23:55 UTC
