Depends on what the small print says on your contract. There was someone else recently who had the same problem. If you've paid and the container has left your property then it should be a done deal imo but if it says in the small print that they can up the price at any time you're kind of over a barrel. They've got your stuff and won't finish the 'deal' until you pay more.

I imagine you can complain to the shippers ombudsman or whatever association there is but not sure it will get you anywhere.

Get on to them and ask to see what they've received saying the prices need to go up and where it says in the contract that they can up the price.
