OMG they got my Venezuelan too! :(( - Update page 6!

[Icecrystalline]

I'm so terribly sorry about this awful happening, I just wish customs would sort themselves out, this is the second time a beautiful venezualan has been opened! xxx

[snyfez]

I am so sorry this happened!   *gulp*.....now i am really anxious for the one I ordered...I hope she makes it past these careless inspectors

[SoSilver]

Avea i am so sorry!
I know how you are feeling right now=(

i really don't understand why they have to rip apart a box that can be so easily open!
they are so arrogant and rude!

I am with you!
Hugs!

I've written the seller. I know it's not their fault that customs is evil. However I don't understand why it wasn't insured. I spent $30 extra for shipping. It should have been insured and declared for full value. I can't even file for damages.

[SoSilver]

Oh Avea!
I forgot to add that i may have good news for you because also my Starshine doesn't have the name tag on the box:)

Hugs;)

[Avea2006]

Thank you SoSilver It was showing in the original pic though - loose in the box.

If they'd declared the value you might have had to pay a loooot on customs fees... plus insurance can be horribly expensive, I know it is over here

Unfortunately only $50 was declared on the slip so even if I spent the time and international phone cost to pursue american customs (the tape said Homeland Security?) I would never get back what I spent...

Your seller had no right to mark it lower than what you had purchased for (unless you asked to do this, which no one should be asking this anyway, because it is important information in case of ... something going awry).

If you paid for services, such as insurance you really need to press the seller. It is then their fault for not providing services that you paid for.

Great, now I'm gonna be wringing my hands 'till my Firefly shows up safe & sound. Unfortunatly since 9/11, homeland security has a little extra oomph to it. So sorry this is happening, & if my package shows up in anything less than perfect condition, there will be heck to pay.

[Sea_Breeze]

Not again .
Unfortunately with all theses Ven ponies coming through the post I dont think this will be the last opened MIB .  I have a feeling the glue that was used is causing some grief. I know when I worked at the airport our Customs Officers would get us to x-ray bags & the glue that holds most bags together shows up the same colour as drugs. Esentially they are made out of chemicals just like glue hence the colour. Its up to them to work out if its a real hit or not. Plus the fact that Venuzela is a known drug trafficking country does not bode well for MIB ponies arriving safely

[Foxtale]

That is so sad. I'm so sorry to hear that happened to you :-( its a shame the world we live in sometimes

[Sarah-Bee]

I agree, it's ridiculous. As if we're not ripped off enough in this country already.

THIS! It makes me so  mad that they charge a massive fee for packages opened, plus an £8 admin charge for every package they open!! DISGUSTING

It's even more disgusting what's happened to yours and SoSilvers pony though Avea, so sorry this happened to you both! xx

it is illegal to put a lower value on the customs form in order to avoid customs fees. it means you cannot claim back the true value if the packet got lost, because a false value was declared.

extra insurance is costly it is true but surely it is worth the peace of mind.
