@FedExEurope @FedExPolicy
Thought you might like an update on this: a month on @FedEx reply to say an investigation has been conducted & the billing is correct, €185,000 duty is owed for a £164 parcel. Can't imagine what kind of investigation, other than a rather poor one.

[Luke Clancy @lukeclancy]

Hey @FedExEurope @FedExOffice I noticed before that your extra charges feel pretty bloated, but WOAH!
I don't think i will "Accept and Proceed" with these surcharges on a £164 purchase.

@FedExHelp not sure why @FedExEurope who were also tagged here, have not replied - i'm pretty sure we are under their auspices here.
