Sadly even the 'reputable companies' are at it. The Moving Company tried to rip us off over MAF fees and threatened to withold our gear unless we paid. I refused to deal with them, made the shipping agent put my name on the manifest and cleared it myself.

$180 for a truck to bring the container from the docks and take it away again.
$180 for three big lads to unload it.
$150 MAF fees for the inspection at our house.
$2000 refund from the shipping company.

Sorted.
