I'm just wondering if other people also got screwed by RPM Tesla with a Fedex bill that showed up a month after getting their goods. Any time I've had a US vendor that didn't want to "pre-clear customs", either the vendor warned me ahead of time, so I could clear it myself (and not pay the "Advancement Fee" just the small amount for GST), or the vendor didn't know what they were doing and just blamed me for shopping with them and stuck me with the bill. After reaching out to RPM Tesla's customer service, it seems like they fall in to the latter category saying that once it leaves their warehouse it's my property, so it's my problem, even if I paid a lot in shipping for already.

Very surprised I haven't come across this on the forums here, where RPM Tesla didn't clear customs ahead of time and caused an even larger shipping bill.

Has anyone else ordered from RPM Tesla and did or didn't get hit with the Fedex bill a month later? Trying to see is this a one off shipping miss-hap, plus poor customer service, or should I be avoiding them going forward?
