Hobbylink Japan charges

Morning.
Ive just ordered a kit from HLJ that was down as 273 aud. They charged my paypal acct 304 aud.
Just had the shipping charges done which was supposed to be 241 aud (DHL but still ridiculous charges) and have been charged 317 aud.

Ive contacted them and waiting for a reply but wondering if anyone else has had this issue with them?

DHL are very expensive to use here in the UK and especially getting things moved from Europe to the UK. Generally i avoid them if i can.

I’m in Australia, DHL arent usually too expensive when i ship from Europe to here. Had a reply back from HLJ, it’s their company they use to manage foeign currency payments that uses a silly exchange rate.
Next time i’ll use my Wise account and pay in Yen :rofl:
