DHL. Possible scam.

[The_Hawk]

Funny reading this thread... I received an invoice from DHL for that amount a few weeks back (about the same time as you guys) asking for the same amount and thought it sounded a little suss, although in my case the seller paid all shipping/insurance etc so there was no way I was getting lumbered with anything.

I did attempt to call the number on the invoice and left a message but have never heard back, I too figured I just wait till they got serious.

...now I have just got off the phone to the 131406 number from DHL's website. The girl I spoke to there took the HAWB number and has confirmed all the details. While their accounts dept is closed till after 9am to give a 100% confirmation, it's looking like it could really be a legitimate invoice. She also confirmed the 1300 301 307 number is the one she gives out to people for accounts.

Bottom line for me though is that I did not organise shipping, choose provider, open an account or do much of anything other than receive a package from someone else. If they feel the need to send the bill to the guy they contracted with to deliver something... well great. But that ain't me.

I think that's the same for most of us.

I ordered someting from Ebay UK and the shipping was included in the price.

Happy Days.
