SHIPPING COST RIP OFF , BUYER BEWARE
I RECENTLY MADE A PURCHASE ON E-BAY FROM VENTURE TRUCK PARTS . I PAID $ 48.81 USD FOR SHIPPING IN ADVANCE TO THIS SELLER AT CHECK OUT . I WAS LATER INFORMED BY THE COURIER COMPANY THAT THE ITEM WAS BEING HELD AT CUSTOMS FOR FURTHER PROCESSING FEES IN THE AMOUNT OF $40 .37 . WHEN I CONTACTED THE SELLER I FOUND OUT THAT HE HAD SHIPPED THE ITEM VIA E-BAY INTERNATIONAL AND THAT HE WOULD NOT ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SHIPMENT EVEN THOUGH HE RECEIVED PAYMENT . WHEN I CHECKED WITH THE E-BAY INTERNATIONAL CALCULATOR I FOUND OUT THAT SHIPPING COSTS WERE $18.46 INCLUDING IMPORT AND DUTY. I LATER CONTACTED E-BAY TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE EXTRA SHIPPING AND HANDLING CHARGES THEY REFUSED TO REIMBURSE AND OFFERED VERY LITTLE HELP. MY PACKAGE CONTAINING PARTS FOR AN URGENT CAR REPAIR IS STILL BEING HELD AT CUSTOMS WITH NO UPDATE ON WHEN OR IF THEY WILL EVEN ARRIVE TO THE INTENDED DESTINATION AND NO ONE IS TAKING RESPONSIBILITY .
