Singpost has on occasion opened up packages from amazon on the
'pretext' of 'inspection'. Then asked me to come down and collect,
on top of that, pay an administrative fee for THEIR TROUBLE.
I find the cost-wise utter crap. If they do find contraband like
restricted DVDs or banned books, then fine. No argument over who
pays the costs.
If they open the package and find nothing of significance, why
should the bearer be made to foot THEIR ADMIN costs?
Wasn't too pleased with their holier-than-thou attitude either.
Anonther question is: how come there is no announcement that this
new screening practice is being implemented? Is it yet another
bureaucratic filter set-up to 'create jobs'? These are private
purchases and opening private items constitutes to a breach of
privacy.
