u could contact your credit card compnay saying you never received your shipment... i think at that point they'd open up a claim w/ the seller and you should get your money back.. obviously not a sure thing but that's just logically waht normally happens in other cases

What was your total of sale and who is charging you the customs fee?  FedEx?

Aramex international is charging the fee and the total is 400 so 20%
 
maybe I'm late to the party on this, but I just noticed that my XII retros from 04 have PLASTIC lace eyelets, not metal as reported elsewhere (I balled them into the ground so the paint chipped off over time).  The "metal" appearance on the 04s is really just high quality paint.  Wonder if the OGs were plastic as well...

In any case, this helps make the plastic eyelets on the these Retros not as lame for me.

I think they were always plastic...just older retro were darker "brushed" metal and new edition are the shiny "chrome" version
Not a hug fan of the shiny/chrome/plastic but not that big of a deal in the end...still a solid shoe...

As far as I know, no one that got that tax on multiple pairs of Concords got out of it...Fed Ex cutomer service did some reductions/waivers but I've never dealt with Aramex...
I don't understand how if you refuse delivery or customs processing how they still charge you the fee via your refund...if there is no delivery, there should be no customs fee, right?

yeah i was dumb...but even my tax on 2 pairs of concords wasn't that high. it was more in the range of 50 or so...

I thought the same thing, that refusing delivery would just get me my money back and the shoes would just go back to the merchant. but according to the merchant, they have to pay the fee to get it back. i have no idea. i'm thinking about just making a claim with the CC company but will wait till the merchant gets back to me.

thanks for the input!

yeah, all comes down to who is handling it...good luck fam...report back with the outcome so cats can know who not to deal with and stuff...

  
 
^let this be a lesson to others then.. that is too crazy, paying the price of a pair of shoes just for customs.. ouch

anyone else's latest orders being held ransom by ndc?? it's been a week and they still haven't released mine to be shipped.. that's a bad sign

You're stuck, either pay the $80 now, or wait another couple weeks and get it deducted from your refund.  
You can't avoid it, the seller/website should have put a low value on it, but because of legal reasons, they can't. 
 
Who really got through @ NDC.

Isnt it wierd they cancelled orders on a Random Restock, not that many ppl knew about

i just emailed them.. trying to get one too i guess... doesn't really matter since i didn't get my order.. but i guess 15% off is better than nothing

Wonder why NJ is exempt. NJ has a Nike store right?
Maybe NJ doesn't charge tax on shoes. It's like that in Boston.

NJ doesn't tax necessities.  They sure as hell tax everything else tho.

throw some sneaker shields in there, should help a little and be barely noticable because they are too big
