An assertion ending with a question mark is a brain fart.

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 >:D

(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.)

The kicker is the sender email address. Looks very trustworthy... or?
