Centellian24 Giveaway Question

I won the Centellian24 giveaway that included the cleanser and toner pads. A week or two later, I got the products and did my review. Another week or two later, I received mail from fedex saying I need to pay my tax which was around 41.62 dollars. I know it’s my responsibility to pay for fees and such. I’m curious on if you guys won the giveaway, did you also have to pay for any fees or tax? (I live in the USA)

If you’re an USA resident, we normally don’t get custom fees. Something in the form my have been left out. Search up Centellian24 on the discussion board, this has happened multiple times with this particular brand. Your best bet is to email help@hypercape.com to try to get this reimbursed. I didn’t get the customs fees with my first Centellian24 giveaway, but I did for my second win in that same exact amount. And it’s literally only this brand that causes this issue.

I just got the bill today too. This was my 3rd time getting something from the brand but I never got an invoice the other times. I read through the documents and it seems that $26 of the total was a Food & Drug Administration Clearance Fee. This is described as a fee “charged by the broker when additional processing is required by a regulatory agency” or FedEx’s Customs broker. Question is there something on form that required processing as a “Drug”? The Commercial Invoice filled out by Hypercape also had Duties & Taxes Payable by Consignee (the giveaway winners) so probably why “we” are liable. I reached out but I think I’m going to warn everyone in my TikTok review that they will be charged $$. Plus I hate the cleansing pads so that makes this fiasco even worse. I emailed them about reimbursement, but I guess I’ll have to pay FedEx since i have a business account with them for my job and don’t want them to charge my employer.

So annoying to have to deal with this 😪 I also received something from them before but didn’t have to pay. $41 for 2 products that you’re not crazy about is pretty ridiculous 😩 Please keep us updated if you have any luck getting reimbursed! What did you say/ask in your email, if you don’t mind me asking?

I won this giveaway and received this statement as well, however it said I owed $0. It may differ based on the state you live in, but I’d recommend contacting picky as soon as possible to see if they can do anything.
