Hi,

I ordered 5 spypens from china, instead of the pens, I got a letter through the door from DHL. Well its not a letter, its a copy of the shipping details from the supplier, along with something that DHL have produced - "supplementary declaration".

Do they have my pens somewhere? Theres no note - nothing at all to say what I have to do next.

Any help appreciated.

Once they deliver the goods, they will send an invoice in respect of any import duty and VAT. I wouldnt worry as DHL make you sign for deliverys anyway so they havnt sent it to the wrong place!

Give it a couple of days, then ring them, or use your tracking number to locate the parcel

Hi,

Thanks for that - I was away last week so they may have been to the house to deliver the pens - not sure, but theres no note here to say theyve been. (I think the docs above came through the post).

Ive got a tracking number from my supplier, but its related to singapore post - (singpost do t com)
nothing to do with DHL or is it? I dont understand to be honest how a parcel gets here through all the logistics and companies.

Hello,
Most people don't know this but the online chat is very helpful but extremely hard to locate.
http://www.dhl-usa.com/custserv/cont...?nav=ContactUs
On the right hand side there is a link that says 'Speak to Tracking Agent' however only avaliable during weekdays I believe. Give it a try tomorrow, or simply call them.

Warm Regards

Jeez Ive just realised this documentation I have referes to an older order which I already have.
I wish they would have dropped a note of instructions in it - I have absolutely no clue what to do with it and theres no phone number or anything - but it looks like they want cash.

"Total Revenue Payable - 2.74"

WTF?

Hey, DHL will have already paid this amount over and they should have sent you a proper invoice with details of how to pay them within 30 days.

Id just call DHL and give them the information you have to clear it up

Thanks for the info - I will go through the post and see if theres something ive missed - then give them a ring to see how this works. I dont want to be fined down the line for this - or worse, I always like to have my taxes etc paid up.

You wont get fined, DHL will just chase you for payment as any other supplier would!
