For certain countries they can charge huge admin & penalty fees that are sometime 3-4x the value of the product bought.
They offer very cheap shipping but when the parcel arrives in your country they refuse to release it even if you paid customs directly, for all their hidden fees.
If you bought an item in a flash sale or discount you can have some problems as they evaluate their own value for items and if the paid amount differs by a few $ compared to what they have they charge extra penalty fees. If the online shop ships a lower value invoice than what you paid for you can have some serious financial problems. Users in countries with strong consumer laws might not be effected. In some countries they send out invoices after 3-6 months when parcels were delivered for extra brokerage fees and admin costs.
When ordering online and the company doesn't clearly state what shipping method is used like DHL/UPS/EMS or airmail send them an email or message and make double sure.
Lots of commerce sites use TNT because they offer them cheap shipping costs but pass hidden costs on to the customer.
They are very unethical and also lie about deliveries and charge extra for fake deliveries made.
When you en-quire about the extra costs they also lie and throw the phone down in your ear.
There are several different sites online to warn users of the exact same thing.
Just be aware when ordering online.
