DHL Tariff Fees More Than Tariff

I ordered 5 PCBs from JLCPCB thinking the total would be around $20. Instead, DHL added a $17 processing fee on top of a $4 tariff, so I paid more in fees than the actual tax.

DHL notified me late Friday night and gave me less than 24 hours after the Labor Day weekend ended to get back from traveling and pay before they would send my order back to China. Who needs that in their life?

In this video, I’ll show the real cost of using DHL for ordering PCBs or any product from China, why their “tariff processing” fees can burn you, and better alternatives for PCB prototyping like OSH Park.

If you’re ordering PCBs or electronics from abroad, this is what you need to know before choosing DHL shipping.
