4th Round! Yipee!

Another spat with Ace, what fun.

The email is a load of baloney as you can see if you look at the UPS shipping its already made its way back to the states. And SHOCK horror its going to cost me $200 to ship back! How does that work ?

EMAIL from them:

Hi,

While speaking with UPS they stated it will cost about $200.00 to return this package to us. That means this amount will be deducted of the $278.95 you paid for the item. I have until Friday to have the package re-called back to us. Please advise if you would like to us to tell them to send this back otherwise you still have a day to recover the package.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you,

Email from me:

Please have the package returned to sender by least inexpensive package method (LOL LOL LOL)
 
1. PoA may be "free" but it needs to be notarised at an official notary office, this costs between 100-150 lire. (YEAH I GOT IT RIGHT)

2. Cost of translation, I cannot sign the PoA until it has been translated, even if I wanted to. This costs 40-60 lire.

3. As yet I have recieved no OFFICIAL breakdown of costs of customs clearance, this means whatever they want to charge me for I will have to pay if I sign PoA

 4. Yes I know I will have to pay for return to sender, please send back by least inexpensive package.

5. Turkish customs make it a WELL KNOWN HABIT of charging what they want when they want. If I sign a PoA by UPS and UPS pay this on my behalf and it costs 1000 turkish lire I either pay or be taken to court, which I do not want.
 
> Yes I know it sounds like I am being difficult, but I do not want to pay 400 USD to clear an item I paid 279, how would you feel in my place.
 
Thank you
