Hello fellow knife enthusiasts,
I was expecting to receive my Saji gyuto knife from Japan last week, however it got stuck in customs. Apparently fedex representative said JapaneseChefsKnife listed the package as being 12€ worth and it's being held due to description not being correct as it lists kitchen cutlery but there are other things in package such as camellia oil, rust eraser, fish tweezers. You don't have to be an expert to realize that this package is worth way more than 12€. I'm sincerely scared to lose some of the items I ordered, or the package altogether, or having to pay crazy fees to customs. Has anything like that happened to you? Did you have to pay taxes to customs? Has your package been seized? Especially those in the EU shipping from Japan. Thank you for your replies.
