Charged crazy amounts in unexpected FedEx fees AVOID…
Ordered from Arabic dress in previous years. Will never order from them again. I ordered two kaftans to try on and needed a different size so returned the two dresses and ordered the different size. A week later I receive a bill from FedEx to pay import fees. £84 for the two dresses and £47 for the one dress. I contact Arabic dress as I have never been asked to pay import fees before and they said it’s because I live in the uk so I have to pay it. I’ve always ordered to the same address in the uk and this has never been an issue. They also never accepted the return so the courier has to send it back to me. So not only did I incur £131 in FedEx fees (not including their €19 delivery fee each time) but I now also have 3 of the exact same kaftan that I paid €200 for each. Had I have known I’d be charged import fees I would have never ordered. Definitely something wrong from their end which they refuse to admit. My sister purchased from a different kaftan company in that country who shipped via FedEx during that time and was not charged any import fees. If purchasing from the UK AVOID AVOID AVOID. Unnecessary headache. Terrible parrot-like customer service too. In previous years, I contacted them for instructions on how to wash one of the kaftans I had bought as my dry cleaners had some questions and they never replied. That should have been my sign to avoid this terrible company.
