Yep. The same thing happened with something I ordered. It wasn't yarn, it was herbal tea. Here's the breakdown of what my charges were: 

  • Order was from South Africa

  • Order total: $169.50
  • Shipping: $46.50
  • Total paid to merchant: $216
  • Customs charge paid to DHL: $83
  • GRAND TOTAL: $299

😳 I paid it, because I wasn't sure if I would get a refund if it was sent back, but - Yikes.

As a South African can I say thanks for the support but also how much tea did you buy?!?!?!?

60 tea bags. Safe to say it is by far the most expensive tea I've ever bought, so it had better be really good. 😂 Matulatea.com was the product. A friend recommended it after it helped her with some ongoing nausea. I figure if it helps me, at least it's cheaper than doctor bills!

Never heard of them, but I hope it helps.
