Hi, I had a similar experience, but I ordered Mandrake DVD. I paid mandrake about 4K. It was shipped it via Chronopost, and FedEx for local delivery.
I had to pay about 2K for Customs Taxes and Duties coz I needed it badly. FedEx says customs marked it as a High Value Item. I think it is outrageous to pay that amount but had no other recourse. There must be some way of getting those people know that these are not high value items. Any ideas? --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Another case of Ubuntu Linux unclaimed at customs.
