They might be talking about shipping.  I know Redwolfairsoft really screws you on shipping overseas.

You probably won't get fees for ordering parts, usually guns. I would recommend ordering parts in the US because shipping is expensive, even for just a few small parts, when ordering overseas

Another note: under special instructions, have them mark "gift."  You won't get dinged with a customs fee this way.

What'd you order?  I got nailed with a $38 fee from when I ordered hockey stuff from Canada, but was a "UPS error."  If it's from the shipping service, just call up complaining, you can get it waived sometimes.

I just got a P226 GBB from hobbyasia.com (Hong Kong,) and I didn't have any fees.  $107 for the gun and $14 for s/h.  It wasn't any different than if I'd ordered from the states.

Sometimes you'll get a bill later, I received one about 3 months after an order.
