Ordered a Notebook off Amazon because I thought once the tax (VAT) was paid upfront as I've previously read here, the package would be handed over by UPS without any stress. Alas! That wasn't true. The delivery man wanted me to pay some 1,2xx baht as VAT, but I tried to explain to him that I'd already paid it upfront to Amazon, and that I wasn't supposed to pay anything here, but he called it in and I was told if I wouldn't pay, the package would be returned. I left and called Amazon, and the lady on the phone said they'd cancel and issue a refund. I told her they should just call UPS, and sort it out. She agreed and put me on hold, and a different lady came online about 15 minutes later to suggest I spoke with UPS. Upon calling UPS, my partner was told that I chose post pay (C.O.D) when I checked out on Amazon. Explaining that that wasn't possible when ordering through Amazon was a waste of time. 

 

Is is remotely possible that the broker didn't receive the VAT from Amazon?

We see a few of this type of post (Ebay have a "similar pay-everything-up-front" system) with the courier attempting the double-dip.

 

I refuse to use any seller who only ships using the pre-pay option, I'm quite capable of paying duty and VAT if due.

That's true, but it's hard to buy most things on eBay without the pre-pay option. I guess I'll just have to search for a seller who'd ship with USPS.

 

Thanks.
