We are currently going through the process of receiving a pallet we shipped to Costa Rica. It is becoming so frustrating my wife started crying. Everything was going great and the pallet was shipped from South Carolina with a broker in SC. The company Multimodal said they had it and customs was checking it out. There are two bikes, cd player, radio for my car, tools, a small welder ($100) type, lights, car mats, stand up paddleboard and other small items. It cost $2700 to ship the pallet to Costa Rica. We were then told to pay for taxes, storage, and other little fees in Costa Rica. We went to the bank and transfered the money $1880.00 We were told two days later the customs agent wanted to check the pallet again. We were then told by Multimodal that they were saying this was not all household items and we would have to repay the taxes again. We asked what would happen to the original amount of money ($1880.00) The Multimodal person said we might get some of the money back. We will have paid over $6000.00 to get a pallet valued at $2500.00 worth of stuff. I so regret doing this that I'm thinking about having the pallet returned to the U.S. and just loosing 5 thousand dollars.
