“Ask for a Refund”: Woman Shows Shein High Customs Fee, SA’s Startled

• A local hun was advised to seek her money back and cancel her order after sharing her duty fee amount for an online purchase
• The post attracted a lot of comments on TikTok, as online community members were still trying to make sense of her charge
• The lady's feed was soon filled with comments from Mzansi people who asked her what she bought that caused high customs fees

Mzansi huns have been complaining about high customs fees charged for online purchases, as many are unaware of items that attract high duty fees and those that don't.

A babe could not share her high-duty fee for her online clothing order, so she posted on her TikTok account under her user handle @bae.mimmie.miles.

What she ordered and the customs fees paid

The hun shares three photo slides: one showing her Shein order with 11 items and a total charge of R1252; the next slide shows custom fees of R831.34; and the last slide is a meme showing a child eating lemon.

SA hun explains how custom fees are calculated

In another Briefly News article, a woman explained on TikTok that Shein and Temu duty fee charges do not depend on the day, month, or season one orders.

She explained that fees are calculated according to the duty they attract and the tax and administration fees.
