What do you mean?
Are you saying that DHL Chile charged you $200 for your countries Sales Tax and Import Duties? Did you check with DHL as that seems a rip-off. All courier companies seem to have this ability to overcharge until you check and suddenly they find that they have incorrectly charged you for your goods.

that must be a mistake. For 200 bucks Werner would deliver the player in person. With a Rolls Royce.

So is a friend, DHL charged me 200 dollars and from what I've read elsewhere is quite normal for this company ...
a legal scam.

Not where I live.... this is just some manager skimming the customers.
It's corporate corruption...

DHL charged me about £30 from what I recall.
Remember it is YOUR countries Taxes that DHL are charging you so find out what they are and ask DHL to explain how the $200 is correct.

Hi KCO,
It could be custom duty charges for the $200 and it was the Chile custom office charge you.

RE: DHL is very expensive - halfelite - 10-07-2011 11:01 PM
looking at the cost and according to google your vat should be 19% VAT (RIGHTS, CIF) 95.16 should be 56.81 seems like you are getting overcharged
RE: DHL is very expensive - cheaper_popcorn - 10-09-2011 02:06 PM
I would ask them to explain "CARGO TERMINAL 51.87" too.
