fakename Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 You see, that is what so good about corruption, if it dosent happen, once out of a hundred times, and things go smoothly, then we are very happy! Now picking up a parcel back home, would not even make us happy, and wouldnt be anything to write about! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigt3365 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 We visited there last month. We had the same experience. The value was calculated and a percentage was applied. All above board. All very professional. And yes, were were pleasantly surprised...as we were expecting the worst. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigt3365 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Was this an ocean shipment? Mine was a guitar shipped from China, I think either via EMS or regular post. Not 100% sure now. Delivery address was a condo, but customs got it. A guitar shipped the same way a few years ago was delivered with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
