Hello. I am seeking advice on what I consider a fraud...
My wife immigrated from Singapore. We shipped her belongings from her home via a company in Singapore that was "paid in full" for the shipping. 7 months later we were finally told that her belonging (4 2x2 corrugated boxes full of personal items) had arrived in New York and were ready to be delivered to us in South Carolina... but because there was a delay in the shipping (and storage) process, there is an additional charge of $72 due.
One week after paying the $72, we received another email stating that the $72 was a mistake and that there is still another payment due of $64 (in addition to the $72).
When we complained to the Singapore company, they said it is out of their hands.
In the meantime, her boxes have been delivered.
I was hesitant to pay another $64 because I feel they are screwing us over, however they still had her belongings, and I was afraid there was nothing we could do but knuckle under. Now that we have her possessions here, I am not as willing to comply as I am afraid there will be yet another mistake (sarcasm) found and more to be paid out.
I have looked at reviews of the company and this is a chief complaint - that they always find more payments - they need to collect. I am looking for advice. Should I tell them to go pound sand?
