My Parcel from the US arrived at my door, though I got an email asking to pay import fees?

Woa, hold your horses guys I never said I am refusing to pay the duty, just seeing what my options were as it's just a very strange situation, deliver first and then asking for a payment via email from a company I've never heard of (TransGlobal) and can't find much info on the net about, other than their website. They also claim to be holding the parcel which doesn't make much sense. Parcel was left at the door with no card or anything to link to this company. It does say delivered on the tracking info, nothing about import duty payment. So just a bit confusing and a little suspicious. For all I know I may have already paid it with the shipping cost. Also wondering how many people here would buy say an i-phone abroad and declare it at the airport coming back? Or just keep it in your pocket as if you had it all along? No one likes to pay more money at the end of the day. I'm an honest person, declare my earnings etc. Just asking a question. Anyway I'm phoning the company up via their official site to double check it all. 

That's not entirely compatible with your opening post, which included:

"Anyway I obviously don't want to pay them having received my parcel already and it looks like whoever delivered it made the mistake. Should I just ignore this now?"

You acknowledge someone made a mistake, and you're seeking advice on how to exploit it.  That doesn't strike me as particularly honest.

Never said you are refusing?
Well, considering that your opening post asked if you should simply ignore the invoice and in a later post you inferred that if it went to court (and why would if ever go to court if you were to pay what you owe?) they would have to prove that you had received the package. 
Why would they have to prove anything unless you were to commit fraud and deny ever having received it?

How did you get on? Did you manage to confirm they were the genuine article?
