I live in chile and my secret santa used DHL to send me a package. When the package arrived DHL proceeded to charge me with almost $45 USD worth of services that find no justification + $15 USD in taxes.

I can't retrieve the package and they will most likely turn this debt into a court of law in order to force me to pay it.

:(

thanks anyway secret santa for taking the time and effort to find something nice to send me. i wish i had the money to pay for this outrageous fees, since my country's legislation and institutions won't provide protection for this kind of injustices.

Edit:

A reddit user was kind enough to offer me some money to help out paying DHL's bill, i wanted to thank Deyona for the gesture.

Edit2:

I would like to thank both Deyona and AnandaUK, i can't believe how generous they both are. Now i can stop worrying about the whole DHL thing, they are covering the cost of the bill for me. I'll make sure to save up enough money throughout the summer to pay them back.

Again thank you very much, you guys made my week. Even thought the money and the peace of mind of not having to deal with those vipers brings enough joy, the fact that there are people out there that would reach out to a complete stranger just puts a smile on my face.

Thanks again and ill make sure to post the contents of the secret santa gift as soon as possible :)

edit3: i took out the sad picture and tried to fix up a little bit of my english.

edit4: i talked to the people at DHL and they are sending someone with the package tomorrow :)

edit5: the package arrived, it's the mothership of all thermai apparatus! I'm pretty sure my secret santa is sending me a message, he/she knows i eat too much junk food on the run and it wants me to cook healthy dinner and bring it with me :D (it also comes with a fancy metal "forkspoon" and a little bag to bring the lunch jar)

thanks secret santa and thanks to all the kind redditors that helped me out AnankaUK and Deyona :)
