It can happen but it's rare. More likley that it isn't coming unfortunately. Be sure to go with trusted vendors and take it as a lesson learned.
This forum should help you find trusted vendors where this won't happen

What is "Brokerage Charge" please ?

If I'm thinking this out correctly, (probably not lol), that means the Trumpsters mob took $8.24 and UPS decided they'd charge you double and a bit for themselves ?????
The broker fee from UPS means Preparing and submitting customs entries, calculating duties and taxes, and facilitating the release of goods by customs authorities. It means they charge to do all of that for you. So we get double fucked without any lube or without any lipstick.

If you think that then you know absolutely nothing about me either.
I gave you good advice in my initial reply, it was you that became the keyboard warrior !!

My apologies to you because you did indeed give me good advice initially. It was all the stuff after that where things went south and I definitely did not come here to stir "kaka" or make enemies so in the future I'll follow some good advice given by several members earlier.

Same things happens here in Germany too, if one imports anything from the US.
But at the end of the day I think 25 USD are bearable.

No sir, I don't recall you saying anything offensive so no worries. I'm honored to have been able to serve with some mighty fine men and women and honored to have been in the presence of some real heroes so I appreciate you for saying that.

And I will apologise to you too for my part in this, as you were really just caught up in the crossfire of an already messy thread (y)
I don't think anyone here holds grudges, I certainly don't so that's that, lets all just move forward, I will certainly help you again if I see a question I can answer ;)

Enjoy the forum there are some really great guys here, and the knowledge pool is amazing (y)
Finally, the job you were doing as medic under fire also makes you a real hero too !!

If the tariff itself was $8, then that would track with a 30% tariff of a $26 stated value. I'm glad it made it through safely

Supposed to be getting it tomorrow. Just passed Alaska and customs. I would advise anyone who has to pay the tariff not to pay it until it passes customs on the US side first, or until the package is delivered. If you pay the tariff right away you risk the package getting seized because it still has to go through customs again. Just a heads up.
