I have to pay before I collect my parcel in Post Office

Date Paid: 2012 | City: Alimosho
Date Reported: 2013-02-11 08:04:17 | Department: Communications

Office/Company: NIPOST
Transaction: Customs Duties, Levies & Imposts
Bribe Type: Nil
Detail: In a very short story, for the past two or three years I usually buy stuffs online (especially electronic gadgets). Each time I choose free shipping method, it has to pass through the nearest post office. But before the post office release my stuff, I have to bribe to two different departments. I call it bribe because they have no genuine name for it and no receipt or any official document given for this. They always say it's a compulsory fee (N500 for one department) and the other department can be N500 or lesser. If I refuse to pay this, then I'M not ready to receive me parcel or according to one of them secretly said they can even plan with the police station beside their office, and arrest me that I'm carrying stolen goods or am doing yahoo-yahoo. As we all know, any matter going to the police, guilty or no guilty, you must vomit something. I 'm not happy each time i do this, bu I don't know how to stop this.
