Unfortunately I have to give a star
Unfortunately I have to give a star. Doesn't deserve that. Ordered a package from the UK with christmas presents from our family, babies winter clothes in and a bottle of perfume a friend asked us to add. Everything was moving a long fine until it hit Turkey and was wrongly put into customs there. First I was advised a MSDS form would be needed. I tried to locate one and eventually had to pay for it. Oh wait, they changed their mind a MSDS form can't be used. Well that was a waste of time and money. So I asked could the perfume just be removed. No, I would need to pay for an external broker to to that. Now the package is valued at £600 and a honest broker said it wouldn't be worth doing it as it would cost more than that. Funny, I found out that fedex has a brokerage service and advised the clearance agent of that. Suddenly the perfume can be removed. Then I questioned why it was in customs in Turkey when the package was not destined for Turkey. Oh... a mistake. It will leave customs within 5 working days. 2 weeks later and nothing. When I ask the clearance agent what is happening. I get a response of "I'll update you" When? It's already wrongly been there for over 40 days. Seems 2022 is already creeping up on me. Fedex UK are just as bad. Response from customer service "There's a backlog in Turkish customs". Oh, well that's great. Just take my package out, as it shouldn't be there and that will clear an item off the backlog.
