Canadian SDX DUTY/VAT overpayment issue

Hi,
Long story short, you will be issued a refund check by DHL for overpayment of DUTY/VAT for your Vs and Vitalogy Super Deluxe Box Set.

This charge was NOT a broker fee or shipping COD.

We sent an electronic file to DHL Global Mail with the value of the SDX box set of $150.00 USD. Apparently, due to a software glitch, the value of the box set was set to $300.00....so the DUTY/VAT tax payment was approximately double what should have been paid...We've just been notified in the last 30 min, so we don't have all the details yet, but we wanted to let you know that this issue is being dealt with now.

DHL Global Mail has been great to work with, and their attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.

We are very sorry for this inconvenience, and hope you are enjoying your Vs and Vitalogy Super Deluxe Box Set. Any questions should be directed to <!-- e --><a href="mailto:shipping@tenclub.net">shipping@tenclub.net</a><!-- e -->

    Thanks, Santos! As someone being charged $46.25, I was about ready to inquire regarding possible returns.

    Thanks Santos/10C...your attention to this issue is greatly appreciated.

    Do we know if this is only applicable to the people that paid $46 in charges?

    Basically, we should have paid $7.50 + whatever tax we should have paid in our local province for an approximately $145CDN purchase. This is what it should have been if you paid more, you should get this refund, otherwise, I doubt it.

    Ok so for Ontario at least it sounds like those of us who paid $26 and change paid the right amount...anyone who paid more should get the difference refunded.

    Of course, I might be wrong and everyone is being refunded, but this is the way it probably should be.

    Hard to say. I think I remember paying about $15 for the Ten boxed set, so it could very well be the $26 is double. I guess we'll see.

    As someone who got charged 46.00, something just didn't seem right about that.

    Thank you for taking the time to look into this, It really is appreciated

    Thanks!

    Is this the same issue or orders being sent to Australia? $70 something... not to mention being charged $169 AUD even when our dollar is buying $1.05 US.... Just doesn't make sense to me...

    Got the e-mail just before going in to see Chris Cornell tonight (amazing show btw).

    Thank you so much to the tenclub/Santos for looking into and getting to the bottom of this so quickly for me/us (I e-mailed them yesterday) You guys are THE BEST!
    As other people pointed out, we all expect there to be some kinda fee, but when the lady at the post office told me $46 I was like :o:o:o WTF! lol Relieved to see that both DHL and 10C are doing right by us :) (not that I had any doubts to begin with).

    Gonna go pick up my box set tomorrow. (I left it at the post office so I could speak with 10C first before paying that fee). Can't wait to check it out!

    Box set arrived @ my doors step just minutes ago!!!! :D

    Had to pay $26.75. Now how does this work again? We will get a cheque in the mail from DHL/10club for the whole amount?

    I did the calc. it looks like those who paid $26.75 paid the correct amount, but those that paid $46 did not. I believe we're requited to pay 13% plus a $7.25 duty fee.

    But I might be wrong.

    Gotcha. Can't complain for that amount. But 46 bucks? Mama mia!!!

    I paid the $26.75...I won't lose sleep over not getting a refund cheque, but I gotta admit, it's still pretty shitty to have to pay that on top of the $37.50 shipping fee..oh wells!
