    I once won a promotion and I was sent some items for free. When I went to pick them up, I had to pay more than I would have been willing to pay if I bought the items, because of ‘duties and taxes’.

    I probably should have just refused the delivery, but I was young and didn’t know any better so I paid for my package. There was a receipt inside the box that listed the items as being somewhat expensive, so I assumed there was some weird accounting where I still had to pay the taxes despite getting them for free.

    I’ve bought and shipped a lot of items since then without ever having to pay upon pickup.
