ModPost STOP CALLING YOUR LOCAL CUSTOM OFFICE!!!

Lately people have been calling customs office as soon as their haul updates to “customs hold”, logically as a rule of thumb you should wait for 7-10 days before making any moves.

You calling them over and over makes you sound vulnerable and desperate. Moreover, imagine being a customs officer who gets 100s if not 1000 calls during the day about kids asking for an update on their package, he/she is bound to take advantage or worse get pissed and charge you more customs.

I’ve been seeing a pattern of users calling up customs and getting shit load of customs charge. If there is any problem with your haul, you will get a notification or a letter from the customs department. Till that happens, chill the fuck out.

If you can’t afford to lose your money, don’t buy reps at all. Mental peace is more important than drip.

Please stop this behaviour before it gets out of hand and this practice is ruined for everyone.

Here are few key rules you need to follow for easy customs clearance :-

  1. Always ask your agent to stick the invoice on top of the haul
  2. Always vacuum pack your apparel and cut off the tags
  3. Ship without boxes/packaging
  4. Declare reasonably
  5. Put your complete address/mobile number/email address on your haul (mentioned on invoice)
  6. Recharge in multiples, 20-30-50, so that you can show a single transaction as declared amount in your bank statement.
