Re: Donating my N9
 
Reading almost the whole thread I start to believe what Dave999 believed from the start!

I mean how did it got "lost"? And all of this charging issues.
It sounds so weird...

Let's hope that everything is true, but it seems a strange story for me.

Why is there still such a senseless discussion about this?
scam/No scam - Are you guys trying to alienate people who want to donate to the community and support developers by questioning their motives again and again?

IT'S A GIFT! so be thankfull if it makes it's way to cepi and if it does not.... well no harm done!

Its not a 'scam' in any way. Thats a genuine USPS tracking link attached, and its stuck in customs at Argentina.

They also say

Its the most stupid law I have ever heard of.

Package isn't lost.
Cepi need to pay $200 for his parcel... which won't happen...

But this wasn't an 'item bought from international website'?
This was just a gift from someone... :confused: correct me if I'm wrong...

Edit: I think we could contact their post office to ask what is wrong with the package, because this was just a gift

Welcome to latin america guys !!! Here in Brasil they charge us 60% even on shipping costs. Only if it is a gift AND costs under 50 USD shipping included they will dont charge.

I have some donations from community (for my SailfishOS theme) and I can give some of them to @justadude if he wants.

It was just some thoughts, I didn't try to alienate anyone :)
Actually I think that it is a nice move to donate a phone that is just sitting on a shelf or something, but the whole situation was a little strange from the beginning. As HtheB wrote somewhere why justadude wrote that high amount if it was just a gift?

Nevermind, I don't know what exactly is happening with this and I don't want to insult anyone, so let's hope it is just a problem and it will be solved sooner or later! :)

I'm not sure what happens to packages stuck in customs in Argentina but if it cannot be returned by contacting customs or the postal service for their help, I would suggest justadude contact his country's embassy in Argentina, explain what happened and see if they can either find a way to waive the fee or have the n9 returned to him. If it is returned, and he so chooses, it could be sent again but with a much lower value assigned to it.

Irrelevant if its not purchased online as such, how do you prove its a gift? They will just think you are trying to evade the tax.. :(
