Exactly! This is why I say this fee is not fair and just plain wrong. If they want to do extra checks it's on them to suck up the costs for it, not for us to be the "lucky" ones.
When someone says you're correct, you're wasting time restating the same argument
The sender has a role to play in this.
I ordered a package from the UK value £108 but the sender filled in the value of £150 for the benefit of the customs people. As a result they opened the package and charged me because they didn't think a cheese making kit could cost so much. Not only did I have to pay the admin fee, I also had to pay mswt on the wrong value.
Lesson learned.
Righto... again in a rush Thanks
Shall I repeat the second half again?

Amazon started blocking "Import Fees Deposit" when ordering something into CH.
The only parcel I have received in 8 years here, that had previously been opened by the Post Office, was some M&S underwear! They probably couldnt believe the price?
Glad I live close to Germany, if I were to order something from outside Switzerland, I will have it delivered there and go pick it up.
