Ok so here it the story

Me and this kid (on ns)decided to make a trade he would give me his siver Jaket for my computer program so its all good rite and we both send our stuff out on monday. Well 10 min ago i realise that a guy from ups came with the jacket and i have to pay 58$ for some gay tax or some shit (sent from NY) not being sure if i ordered a jacket she tells the guy to come tommorow. What do i do i dont wanna pay an extra 60 bucks for a trade i already made. what should i tell the ups guy or what could me and this guy do to get the tax price to be lower. I think for the value he wrote 100$
is there anything we could due to get the tax shit low? this is just gay (not blaming sender prolly not his fault just wanna get a solution)

you think it would work if the sender called ups and said he made a mistake with the value and it was 10$ instead of 100 u thnk the tax crap would be lower?

I posted in your SE thread on this...



Basically 30 bucks of that is non refundable. Its UPS brokerage fees for preparing the papers and shit to bring it across the boarder. Its a flat rate no matter the price or size of the object.


THe other 60 is taxes and customs fees that you might be able to knock down a little.


Go to a UPS store with your parcel and ask them about it.

NOTE: DO NOT OPEN IT UP! IF IT DOES GET SENT BACK FOR RE-EVAULATION THEY WONT ACCEPT ALREADY OPENED PACKAGES.

if when you send it, and you say it is a gift, then you don't get charged
