I find it really odd that when buying a used item that’s twenty years old, the FedEx Express Italy courier in Lonate Pozzolo (Varese) asks for customs clearance fees equal to 27% of its value. After two certified emails, I still haven’t received a reply; evidently, that’s how US efficiency works. The shipping costs were paid by the seller. Delivery was supposed to take place within 7/15 days, but out of excessive zeal...... they informed me that it will take over 30. Just a heads-up for anyone who may choose to use this courier.
