xtremely Frustrating Verification…
xtremely Frustrating Verification Process I downloaded Alipay only because I was trying to pay the import duty on a birthday package I sent to my beautiful daughter in China. I had never shipped anything to China before and wanted to make sure she would not have to pay anything to receive her own birthday gift. I added my bank card, submitted photographs of my passport, and provided all the requested personal information. My account was then restricted and placed under review. After I appealed, I was told that the restriction had been lifted, but when I tried again, the account was placed under review once more. The instructions have been confusing, the process has taken far too long, and I have still been unable to make the payment. My beautiful daughter may now have to pay the customs charge herself so that she can receive her present. In the United States, it seems there is no straightforward way for the sender to pay the taxes and import duties on the other end so that a loved one can receive a package without having to pay for it. I do want to mention that the DHL representatives in China were very helpful and informative. They tried very hard to make this happen and did everything they could, but ultimately they were unable to resolve the payment issue. International customers need a much clearer verification process and a reliable way to pay duties and taxes on behalf of the recipient.
