Why is ezone charging 3% on credit card payments?

[Chimera]

Go back a few pages you'll see why.

[ZeroOne]

Seems like those posts were deleted.

Whats the deal with the extra charge?

[Chimera]

Basically the banks charge 3% processing fee for cc transactions. Ezone always use to absorb it but they are no longer doing it on the vat and duty. Remember ezone pays the vat and duty upfront for you and you reimburse them. If you pay them back with cc then they are losing money.

[ZeroOne]

Thats not a valid excuse.

They knew about that charge before they accepted cc's.

What proof is there that the duty and vat that they charge is the actual duty and vat that customs charged them?

Plus passing on that charge is not even approved by the bank.

[Chimera]

You have the option to pay cash or Linx if you don't like the policy. And you can also request the customs entry where taxes are charged.

[Chimera]

Also yes they knew about the cost and they have always absorbed it without raising their prices.

I brought in a printer (standard home printer) ... the amazon cost (with shipping) was around 600 TTD ... and customs charged me 670 TTD to clear it... and a month after i bought a huge banner printer priced about 6k TTD and i got charged 250 to clear it ... customs is messed up !!!!

The CC fees relate to VAT and Duty, Items that does not contribute to Ezones Income.

Example you invoice comes

VAT 15.00 - Payable to BIR
Duty 20.00 - Payable to BIR
Fees 9.00 - Payable to Ezone

When you pay with CC

VAT: 14.55
Duty: 19.40
Fees: 8.73

Ezone incurs an extra 3% cost that does not relate to them

Its very simple really. All who affected should leave en masse and watch the backpedal begin.

Even if you dont want them to change you have options. Use it.

nah i good, will stick with my non cc fees charging skybox, thnx.

[Chimera]

Lol they probably charging you and hiding it in other fees. Hitting you a "local handling charge"

[src1983]

Not if they bring less than 4lbs. IIRC Ezone tends to be more competitive over 4lbs

[Chimera]

Even customs in the airport does not accept cc payments. Cash or managers cheque..i believe they accept linx as well

[S_2NR]

lol. ezone apologists

[Chimera]

Ezone is one of dozens of businesses in the same field. If you don't like their prices or policies. Simply switch.i used a lot of other companies before settling on ezone. I also use websource for small items that im not in a rush for.

[M_2NR]

Where is tuner's ezone rep pioneer?

Hey guys, not sure if discussed before but searched and didn't find anything.

Looking to buy a 55inch tv that weighs about 50lbs (shipping weight)
Was wondering what's the best way / cheapest way to import. Web source calculator estimated around 3500-4000 in taxes. would it be cheaper if it's sent via ocean freight?

i would advise against it unless that is a rel special tv.
but if you stubborn pay the extra and crate it.

i have no experience with ocean freight. talking about air here
