SteveA 308 Posted January 26, 2011 I have recently bought two watches from a trusted dealer and paid $45 for shipping to the dealer.The delivery took around 8 days via Fedex.Today I have received a bill from Fedex for £13.89 shipping fees should I pass this on to the dealer ? Has this happened to anyone else ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has this happened to anyone else ? those are your fees to absorb, you should have sent air mail, it woulda been cheaper, woulda took a bit longer but there would have been no other fees involved. You can see if the dealer will possibly split it but I wouldn't hold my breath. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KBH 7 Posted January 26, 2011 Fedex always seems to tack on fees for going through Customs. They suck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted January 26, 2011 Airmail is both the cheapest and the safest way of returning watches to a dealer. Fedex do indeed suck for customs charges... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteveA 308 Posted January 26, 2011 Yeah this wasnt me returning them though this was me receiving them after paying $45 fees ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted January 26, 2011 ouch. Sorry, I misunderstood your original post. Did you specify fedex as your preferred option? Usually a very bad idea. EMS is the normal method with most dealers - although many of them offer a variety of options. However, under the circumstances, you are indeed liable for the extra payment. Actually, you're lucky you got the watch - DHL/Fedex are risky. Stick with EMS next time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
