I got absolutely ripped off

2019-01-07 10:18:59 UTC  

how does one avoid the fuckton of taxes when buying from asia?

2019-01-07 10:19:12 UTC  

I just paid 40 euro for a keyboard and 35 euro in taxes

2019-01-07 10:21:24 UTC  

20%VAT, 10 Euro delivery that was stated as 1 euro on banggood, DHL took 15 Euro to move it ti a town 130km, and 10 euro in documents and stuff

2019-01-07 10:30:10 UTC  

@J-Co by staying under the limit for your country

2019-01-07 10:30:27 UTC  

DHL and other couriers are guaranteed import costs unless stated otherwise by the seller

2019-01-07 10:30:39 UTC  

they literally make money from doing it, they're never going to not do it

2019-01-07 10:34:43 UTC  

oh, but how would I do that? the site doesn't have anything like that, do I talk to the seller?

2019-01-07 10:34:50 UTC  

so I know for next time

2019-01-07 10:50:50 UTC  

sellers on aliexpress (phones and shit) will advertise it big, where they ship DHL via the UK for europe

2019-01-07 10:51:08 UTC  

you pay like €15 for the delivery but it's always been that, no extra fees later

2019-01-07 10:51:20 UTC  

for gearbest, their priority line is guaranteed tax free i believe

2019-01-07 10:51:28 UTC  

no idea about banggood

2019-01-07 11:11:16 UTC  

umydicky

2019-01-07 11:37:26 UTC  

it actualy looks like P2 killer

2019-01-07 11:37:32 UTC  

price performance seems to be spot on

2019-01-07 11:45:24 UTC  

@J-Co next time don't use DHL or ask the seller to list the value below 20 euros

2019-01-07 11:48:50 UTC  

If customs check your package and see a value listed higher than 20 euro you get taxed

2019-01-07 11:50:53 UTC  

if umi didnt use 2nd-3rd tier parts it would be fine

2019-01-07 11:50:57 UTC

2019-01-07 11:51:04 UTC

2019-01-07 11:51:13 UTC  

No roms

2019-01-07 11:51:23 UTC  

but theyr quality standards are lower than venezuela incomes

2019-01-07 11:51:35 UTC  

Umidifi probably lacks in updates as well

2019-01-07 11:52:03 UTC  

considering they pump out phones like crazy yeah they shouldnt update them more than twice

2019-01-07 11:55:11 UTC  

indeed but considering if you are lucky and they actualy give stable good rom at first try

2019-01-07 11:55:22 UTC
