Paid in Full, Then Asked to Pay Again
I paid USD 218.62 (approximately €187) believing that this included everything: the products, shipping, and all associated costs. To my surprise, after my order had already been shipped, I received a demand from PostNL to pay an additional €58.85 in import charges before I could receive my parcel. This extra fee represents almost one-third of the value of my order. It is not just about the money—it is about transparency and principle. Customers should be clearly informed before they pay that significant customs charges may apply. I feel this was misleading and extremely disappointing. I will never order from this company again and I strongly advise other customers to be very careful before purchasing, as the final cost may be far higher than expected.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear how disappointing it was to receive an unexpected import charge, and we completely understand how frustrating this must have been. Unfortunately, international duties, VAT and customs fees are determined by the local authorities in the destination country and are not charges collected by Healthy Origins. We do provide information regarding potential import charges in our Shipping Policy and order confirmation; however, we appreciate your feedback that this could be made more visible during the ordering process. We’re sorry this additional charge impacted your first experience with us, and we genuinely appreciate you bringing your concerns to our attention.
