The total quote was $75 The total quote was $75 But was hit with a $150 custom tax for sending an iPhone

Stuck at customs with a $600 fee I shipped a new laptop to Colombia for an employee's home office. The laptop arrived in Bogota but has been held at customs. Talking to FedEx, they say there is a $600 fee that needs to be paid to release the shipment and they will need to use another carrier because FedEx doesn't ship to the town I need. I've tried for a week to reach someone at PackageHopper but their website chat is unavailable and they are no longer answering their texts on WhatsApp. I've reached out to the parent company, MyUS, and they have said they forwarded my request to PackageHopper and I'll receive an email. After a week and three different requests I still have heard nothing.

Service has gone down hill, missing items. Service used to be great! Dropped of directly to FedEx, arrived in Australia in 3 days! No better prices… and then…after about 8 months where they could not ship to Australia the service came back far more expensive, slower shipping, and an undisclosed shipping company. Short version; our package was opened and repackaged by package hopper (no clue why, we’ve packed before just fine) and a few items went missing. PackageHopper says they didn’t see it. So stuck with a He said she said limbo. Lost more goods than what we saved.

Cautiously optimistic! Used them to send overseas package, worked great so used them again, this time my package got held up and never delivered for a reason never fully explained to me! Package Hopper kindly offered a full refund which they didn’t send, when I kept checking on it they finally sent it to my PayPal but disputed it 2 days later and got their money back! They did it in a way that made it look like I offered them a service I didn’t provide and when I responded to dispute PayPal didn’t even review my document showing it was refund! Now I have a negative balance in PayPal because I had already transferred the money! Still trying to resolve this thru PayPal! Update: After multiple emails back and forth they have reissued my refund!! I am cautiously waiting to see if they leave it this time! My experience with them the first time was excellent so hopefully this is now resolved!

SCAM!!! SCAM!!! I wonder why they are still able to do business online? Paid over $60 to send a package to Caribbean but received over $300 bill from FedEx. I wonder how much money they were able to get from their customer and they did not even pay it to the Shipping company. Why no government authority looking into this?
