To day is another day in our “normal” society… I just went and picked up a parcel at the post office. Customs charged me $1.74 of taxes on a free product (clearly, the concept of percentage is beyond those guys).
But that’s not all… In order to decide that I had to pay $1.74, they charged me an extra $5.00 of “custom handling fees”… Just don’t handle it, send it straight to my home…
There is bigger problem in our world, but I got to admit, paying handling fee so you can be taxed on a bunch of papers (that was my trainer renewal from Microsoft, just a certificate, a plastic card and some forms, again I did not bought it, this is free stuff) is bad enough. But paying more for the fee than the actual tax itself, is just plain stupid.
Well, at least they did not taxed me on the handling fees
