€133.63 gone, no product, and an invitation to defraud customs
This company sent me a fake invoice and told me to file it with Austrian customs.
I paid €133.63. They declared my order at USD 15.50 on the customs form. Customs saw straight through it and held the parcel. When I asked what was going on, Oriveda called it a favour — a low declared value means less VAT for you.
Then they emailed me an invoice for that fake amount and instructed me to submit it to Austrian customs myself. Their justification, in writing: customs have no way to know the real value. When I refused, they wondered how customs could possibly know anyway, since there's no website printed on the bottle.
Understand what they were asking. Their lie, my signature, my name in a customs file, and every consequence landing on me alone. I'm a foreign national living in Austria — that document could have cost me far more than a parcel. They didn't care in the slightest.
And the favour cost me more, not less. Their rejected declaration triggered processing fees on top of the VAT I'd have happily paid in the first place. Then they refused to refund me until the parcel returns to Hong Kong — something the postal service may never do, since it can be destroyed instead. Heads they win, tails I lose €133.63.
No apology. No responsibility. Every single reply blamed customs, the shipping, or me for not reading their website carefully enough.
No product. No money back. And an invitation to lie to a government authority on their behalf.
Whatever their supplements are like, nothing is worth this. Search elsewhere and never order from here.
