Just had Force Fins send me a new set of fins last week and had to pay customs 15% duty.
How exactly does this work? You will get a letter directing you to a post office to pay duty and retrieve the package?

I had a DMT with these fins, and she swears by them, but they are sooooo expensive, that I wouldn't personally be in a position to buy a pair out of mere curiosity, as you have. If you can afford Force Fins (even with a discount), just because you want to satisfy your skepticism, you can probably afford the customs duties
Yes, it will get stuck at Thai customs, and you'll have to pay a charge depending on the mood of the officer, officially 98?% of the value.
Don't do it.
