Hiding customs brokerage fees
Hidden customs brokerage fees from UPS. I ended up paying almost the price of the product in additional fees. Update: Roboshop has offered me a gift card that compensate for customs brokerage fee.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We are genuinely sorry to hear how unexpected the additional charges were. We understand how disappointing it must have been to discover that the customs and brokerage costs added such a significant amount to your purchase. We would like to clarify that your order was placed through our European website and fulfilled from our European logistics center in the Netherlands. Our Shipping Policy explains that the European website ships to the 27 member countries of the European Union and the UK. https://eu.robotshop.com/policies/shipping-policy As Switzerland is outside the European Union, shipments from the Netherlands to Switzerland can be subject to import taxes, customs clearance charges, and brokerage fees determined by Swiss authorities and/or the carrier. Unfortunately, these charges are not controlled or retained by RobotShop. That said, we completely understand your concern regarding the overall cost and appreciate you bringing this experience to our attention. We will continue looking for ways to make customs and import-related information as clear and transparent as possible for our customers, particularly when shipping to destinations outside the EU. We are sorry that this situation negatively impacted your experience with RobotShop, and we truly appreciate your feedback.
