dungdung

My german is a bit rusty, are they asking for you to pay up some import fee?
yes, they said that parcel was delivered to nearby post office (rather than to me directly), and that i had to pay customs EUR 1.99 on their provided weblink prior to getting my package cleared. and yes, dungdung rang the bell

(what almost sold me was the fact that i had a similar DHL email before (for another JLCPCB delivery) where DHL required me to pay customs beforehand via weblink, or cash upon delivery. that email wasn't scam, though.)
