"Free gifts" calculated in customs fees
I placed an order for $101.79 and was fully aware I would need to pay customs fees when the package arrived in Thailand.
The problem is Swiss Arabian added "free gifts" to the order, valued them at $46 dollars, so Thailand customs based their fees on a $147 valuation! Nothing on my invoice says free gifts were included or that I would have to pay ADDITIONAL customs fees for them!
Swissarabian customer service acknowledges a financial loss of $44 but will only compensate me in store credit. They then want me to contact them after I buy more of their products to request NOT to have "free gifts" included in future order. Their solution is for me to go through this nonsense all over again?!
I don't think so. My next step is to file a consumer complaint with Sharjah Economic Development Department.
