Hey /fa/ I keep hearing you guys mention custom fees. I'm wondering what websites you guys have encountered that do this, since I'm about to order something from END.

They note how there may be custom fee with my order, since they're from the UK and it's getting shipped to the USA.

Also how much time do customs usually allow you to pay off the fee for your product?

I ordered an Our Legacy tee from End and wasn't smacked

Tres Bien shop never gets me hit with customs either

OP here

Yeah I'm about to cop my grail, but not if I need more cash to pay off some bullshit claim.

It's a $1300 so I'm a bit scared how they tax it, if I have to pay more.

I really think it depends on the store

if you get hit with customs with a 1300 dollar item though, you're gonna pay a loooot

there's a way to calculate it I believe

google "duties calculator"

Fuck my life. I just want to have nice things on my dime.

I order a lot online, but something feels off about this purchase. I'm almost feeling the need to cop other less expensive pieces just to not have to order it for a while.

Also when is END.'s next season sale or discount event?

I hardly ever notice that place give promo codes for events.

I'd rather not, /fa/ has fucked me over on a past grail that I shared and was going to cop when I got home.

I'll post it in the recent cop thread if I pull the trigger in the next few days though.

That import duty calculator says I'll pay about an additional 700 bucks for this one item.

FUUUUUUCK...

So easy to be frugal, so hard to be /fa/.

NZ friend here. I made a purchase from oki-ni worth $650NZD and got charged duties. From Tres Bien I've made two purchases, one of $430NZD and one of $350NZD and didn't get charged duties which was great

tl;dr -- oki-ni - customs tax at $650NZD
tres bien - no customs tax at $430NZD

Haven't had any experience with END yet, sorry. Hope this post was even a tiny bit helpful to someone.

It was, it's just my gut feeling made me look up custom fee's for some reason and I usually follow my instincts.

I feel like I'm about to gamble with the devil.

OP here again.

It seems the customs and boarder patrol are shut down, since the USA government has no funding for them at the moment. So I'm going to chance it.

Who billed you by the way? The fed ex mail man, USPS, UPS or was the bill sent at a later date? Would they have not handed over your parcels if you didn't pay the postman immediately?

If anyone can answer any of these questions that would be great.

Thanks & one last question. IF you're the same user that bought from END. Why UPS? unless you mean the USA postal service (USPS), since END. states on their website they use FED EX.

>> No.7017908

>>7017693
Shit, my bad.

I meant fed ex; got billed customs by them. Wasn't thinking straight.
