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.

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?

Awful !! Do be fooled by their cheap price; for I had to pay much more due to their clerical error! I sent my 89 Lbs well sealed package and a carefully filed invoice. PackageHopper created a dupe with discrepancy in it, this directly resulted the Australian Customs had my package detained for 2 months, and eventually arrived with the box cut open, I had to pay Australian authority extra for their inspections. The entire time, PackageHopper by MyUS did not lend any help with the issue and their attitude was I can't shake them, tough luck, story end.

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

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!
