Ordered something from a NY based company online. It was shipped from their Hong Kong facility via Fedex International Overnight Priority. Got it about 2 weeks ago, but today I got a customs bill from FedEx. Its not my problem that the item I wanted was out of Hong Kong, and their website didn't say that this particular item is coming from an international location, so now I'm going to have to try to argue with them because I'm not paying this bullshit.
Something similar happened to me a while ago. I ordered something from a presumably Swiss website (the domain ended in .ch and the site was in German), only to discover that the actual shipment will be done from the Netherlands and that on top of the listed price that the shop gave me I would also have to pay a fee for customs handling the shipment, which amounted to 30% on top of the total value of the whole purchase.
