That was my experience too - AU$25 duty on a package that wouldn't normally
attract duty at all, plus AU$50 for FedEx's 'brokerage fee' for making sure
that I paid it. And I know that customs didn't actually inspect the package
so I paid a stiff fee for what was probably just a couple of computer
entries. Very annoying, especially considering what they charged the
sender. No wonder they can afford to sponsor crap movies.
