[QUOTE="Rick5150, post: 795775, member: 32779"] That is interesting. Actually, although the $305 shipping fee was higher than I had hoped, I paid it because the local UPS offered door-to-door service at that cost. I was told that if it had to ship back to the US because the fees were too high, they would help me reduce the shipping costs. I had every belief that I was doing the right thing. I would rather the UPS office I used would say, "we honestly do not know what will happen..." because that is far more accurate as they were wrong about virtually everything they told me. What finally happened is that my local UPS was able to contact the Pakistan broker. They basically said that the package cannot be sent back to the states unless the duty was paid. As of now, the cost mysteriously dropped from $705 to $600 to $500. At this point I will pay part of it and the receiver will pay part of it as well. Otherwise, they claim that the package will be destroyed. According to UPS, the charges include a 15% general sales tax, a 10% Value Added Tax, a 6% income tax, a 5% Aviation fee and a few others that I could not write down fast enough. In essence, the package was held for ransom and if it is not paid for it will be killed. I learned a very expensive lesson today. [/QUOTE]
