Whoa! I used to use them a lot GOING to germany, but not from. Maybe
the fees are on the German side? Certainly seems you should have been
forewarned, no matter where the fees came from.

Did you go through DHL, or a forwarder?

  "I long ago lost a hound, a bay horse, and a turtle dove, and am
still on their trail. Many are the travelers I have spoken to
concerning them, describing their tracks and what calls they answered
to. I have met one or two who had heard the hound, and the tramp of
the horse, and even seen the dove disappear behind a cloud, and they
seemed as anxious to recover them as if they had lost them
themselves." - henry thoreau
