I belive the Global Shipping Program to be a scam.
I bought a router from US to Sweden for 199 USD.
Paid 30 US fpor shipping and 54US for "import charges".
I got the router but I did not get the customs clearence papers so I cannot declare VAT.
I have no reply from PB and when contacting the swedish agent it turnes out it never been cleared by customs, no charges made and no VAT paid.
So PB has charged me 54 US for no work at all!
I AM REALLY **bleep** OFF!!!
To make it evern worse, I now have to declare this myself (which was what I paid for in the first place) I then have to pay penalty for being late with the customs clearence and last I have to pay 25% VAT for both the router and for the non-existing import that Pitney Bowes has charged me for!
I'm am also extreemly disappointed and annoyed on Ebay that endorse this scam!
Never gonna trust any promises from Ebay again to do "import" for me.
This router became twice as expensive as I expected.
Since there was no import done I have asked Ebay how to get my money back!
I'm, awaiting theire reply and will post it here when I get it.
Acutally, I think Ebay should pay also the import penalty I may get since they did not do what I paid for..
But I guess that is to strech it...
BTW, Pitney Bowes in Sweden has no connection with this Pitney Bowes shipping thing.
PBI seems to be a brandname parasite also.
