You know how couriers will try and charge an admin / disbursement fee on import duty, with no contract in place. They will repeatedly quote their contract terms on their web site even, in spite of explaining over and over again that we are not a party to that contract.

So it occurred to me, we just need contract terms on our web site. Almost any argument they make to validate their fee applies the other way. It's published terms. They acted (making delivery). The fees are not unreasonable, etc.

@revk@toot.me.uk hehehe excellent, I had thought to do the same. Not only is there no contract for any kind of further fee, I have already paid (usually) someone else to handle the delivery.

@tinmouth@infosec.exchange Well someone else has paid courier for delivery (yes you paid them first).

@revk@toot.me.uk totally. So scenario (unlike yours here) where they say I can't have it until I pay tax and fees.... well I'll have a refund of the delivery fee then cheers.

Crazy. I did look into how to just pay the tax direct but it looked essentially impossible.
