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.

I shipped a package to my nephew in UK… I shipped a package to my nephew in UK through packageHopper. Chose Fedex priority service. This was a gift but they provided me with a wrong form as commercial and that I was exporting the items. Now my package is stuck in customs and they want their duties and taxes. I got in touch with packagehopper several times yesterday and their customer service is the poorest I had come across. I was able to chat with 3 different people and they showed no interest in my issue and took no responsibility for sending me a wrong form but point blank told me that once its shipped its my responsibility. I wish I had not used this service and gone to USPS at least my package was going to make it there without all this hassle. They definitely look like a scam to me now otherwise the shipping costs would not have been this inexpensive.

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?

No Merry Christmas for You! I sent a box of Christmas presents from my home in Florida to my daughter in Ireland. The shipper used DHL for clearance and delivery in Ireland. I carefully wrapped the presents and packed the box, unaware that each item would be unwrapped at customs. Since I had room in the box, I sent stocking stuffers, some mail, and other little items of no real value. I was also unaware that each item would be itemized on the customs form, so each present was unwrapped, each item listed, and I paid 5 euros for each item after the first 5 items. Seventy euros - on top of the delivery fee, customs and taxes - just to itemize mail and chapsticks! When the box arrived at my daughter's home, it was unsealed and the items carelessly thrown in. It ruined my Christmas! DO NOT USE DHL!

My experience financially with this… My experience financially with this company was horrible. I paid 118.00 for a package that only cost 30.00. This company paid FedEx 30.42 and kept the remaining balance of 118. They claim they do not give refunds. Very sad. I tried reaching them and you cannot talk with anyone. I've sent several emails and no response.
