I disagree. Being honest is more important that appearing honest. What a terrible sentiment.
Just like in any other aspect of life. It is not enough that I am an expert in foo. It is also important that I am perceived as such if I want to find a new job in foo.

So.. it seems like the customs retained the phone.
CepiPerez had to pay %50 of the declared value (50% of $400! I don't know why justadude wrote that high amount though..)
So... no.... Cepi doesn't get the phone.... The phone doesn't even go back to justadude.

it's a custom scam. I always knew this was a scam of some sort.
How could they arrest the phone? Whats the charges? What country?

Or even better. There never was a phone but a bag of illegal potatoes or a box of hash.
The conspiracy theories...goes on and on on the net.
Honestly. I have never heard about a 50 % tax is it dollar or ARS. How do they get stuff into their country LOL? They never travel or what.
So he can't argue that he got it for free without paying a dollar?
Either way. Sad story.

Did you try to call your or their post office? because I'm pretty sure that you could ask the package back if they didn't pay to the customs.
He was looking out for the postman for quite some time...
Joke aside, thanks justadude!
