Any issues with the suppliers/senders I recently received packages from, but still think what Fedex / Irish customs are pulling here, is a fraud against the “little guys”, because I’m asking myself, how many will pay these fees, without questioning it.

As I’ve had a similar issue with another delivery from the UK recently (it was only about 9€ in fees and taxes & another service AnPost).
Also there, the sender charged and I paid properly taxes direct when purchasing the goods. But Irish customs / AnPost continuously requested payment, kept the package, at least in that case the package was never delivered. I didn’t pay.

For me that shows a clear pattern.

So another example that democracies are deteriorating worldwide & “capitalist communism/totalitarianism” takes over. Tested by the governments worldwide with the Pandemic Lockdowns, refined in China, N.Korea, Russia and soon by a government near you (your own government) 🤔️

I wish you all the best and we should not overlook and simple accept these kind of issues, because I want my children to experience a different future, one it’s worthwhile to live in. Where people are again, capable of trusting each other, because everything else leads to destruction.

So enjoy any minute of your life - not on the shoulders / the expense of others, be kind to all life (humans included) and have a great weekend …

What I wrote a company today, that tried to provide me with a good service.
