Hi,
I am from India. I have purchased my macbook 13" on 22 June. It was qualified for the $9.95 snow leopard upgrade program. So I done the purchase and waited me my upgrade DVD.
After a month T&T courier called me to say that my upgrade DVD has arrived and I need to pay Rs 798(approx $16) in order to get that. When I give them the money, and was surprised to see that the paper included with the DVD show that its value is RS 5000(approx $ 103). Due to which Indian customs charged me RS 412(approx $8.5) and T&T courier charged me RS 386(approx $8) for shipping and handling.
So I am telling I only brought $9.95 item(upgrade DVD) but thanks to Apple who documented the product is more then $100 due to which I have to pay 10 time more custom duty.
So its Apple's Fault? or something else? Why I have to pay 10 times more custom duty because of Apple?
Plz help me raise my voice to Apple or tell me what should I do? If anyone has the same issue plz add you issue in this thread.
P.S. I have posted in the wrong section. I didnt find a more appropriate thread for this.
