That's your JOB, the shipper PAID FOR THAT, if you don't charge enough for someone to do that CHARGE THE SHIPPER THE ACTUAL COST. I'm positive they only do that to look artificially cheaper. Assholes.
Also, Livenation decided to put a $800 value on my Bad Witch deluxe bundle + Vietnam soundtrack, so now I'm stuck paying 2.5x the taxes, unless I can get Livenation to understand that it's their fuckup. I'm not looking hopeful as this is the canned response I got from them:
"Unfortunately, international orders can be tricky due to customs. Sometimes customs will charge a fee on packages and we don't have any control over it. I sincerely apologize! We appreciate your support for the band!"
Morons.
Thanks for reading about my frustrations. Continue on with your day of being outraged at problems much more serious than mine.
