[QUOTE="Jazzer, post: 571014, member: 5070"] Thanks for your response. Initially they threatened to charge me $31 per day for holding the package in their facility. I tried to explain to their international account rep. that they can't charge me $31 for holding the package, because they already delivered it to me. They were not supposed to release the package, which is not my problem. But they are making it my problem. I certainly am NOT filling out a US Custom Form declaring that I am a tobacco importer using my SSN as a business tax id number. They are insane for asking me to do that. I am not a business. But, even if I did fill out the form and submit it to them, that would satisfy the paper work release (Customs release). But, they said, after that I will then receive a letter from the FDA telling me how much tax I owe on the tobacco I have I "imported". Returning it, she tells me, ends this situation immediately. So, I resealed the package and told them to pick it up and return. I am only returning the tobacco tins. Yes, I agree that Esterval will not refund much for the tins, but the alternative is far worse. You can order a pipe with no hassles. Not tobacco, apparently Anyway, I post this just as information to any one would may be interested. [/QUOTE]
