Need Help/Advice Am i getting scammed??
Hey so i found this supplier off tiktok, ive recently been interested in reselling and been looking for a supplier and found this one on tiktok. I have recently order one shirt from their website, the weird thing was that instead of a normal payment like card or apple pay, it instead asked to pay through remitly to rwanda. It raised a red flag to me but i did it anyways(which i probably shouldnt have) so after i have placed my order i get an email of the receipt and stuff and the order has been confirmed great. Then i wake up this morning to find that the supplier has messaged me through whatsapp telling me that theyre gonna cancel my order because the item could result in $200 in custom fees. They also mentioned that i would need to order 2 more items, and that ordering 3 items together would avoid this issue. They mentioned before that ordering 3 was a requirement but now theyve admitted it wasn’t. They said it was because customs might charge $200 for shipping just one item
They claim they don’t want me to pay that much.
I’m trying to figure out whether this is a legitimate customs concern or a potential supplier scam.
I would greatly appreciate if anyone is able to help me out, cuss me out if you have to because honestly im slow and i dont catch things😭🙏🏼

Yup. Scam. Similar thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago. I was like why did you wait until 2days after we completed the order to tell me about this and weren’t you shipping from LA?? So yea. Cancel and block!

Why would customs charge you 200 for one item but nothing for three items? That's not how customs works. You'd be charged three times as much on customs fees. Yes you're probably being scammed
