Hi Guys!
A while ago I ordered some things (shirts) online, from UK, totaling about R900.
So the package arrived and the import duties on it that I needed to settle was R560.49.
All good, yet steep.
Anyway one of the items was packaged way oversized so I returned the one item. Still no problems.
So today I get a notification that the exchanged item is ready for collection, and the total import duties payable is R560.49. WHAT??
In my opinion I've already paid for this, correct?
At most I'd have to cover the import on the one item, which is fine I guess.
Post office not much help AT ALL. "Phone customs". Ring...ring...ring....ring....
But basically I'm now having to pay the import duties twice on one order to release one item of lesser value than the original order, on which the duties have already been paid !?
What do you guys think?




. The post office/customs have never let me down so far.
