although GB already does fake their invoices
yep
they marked my phone as a media player at 20 bux
ive never been hit by them b4
need to get a psu now lol
probably varies on a case to case basis and depends on how SS-like are customs
@kontroll that new eu tax VAT regulation thing in 2021 (gets rid of the threshold) sohuld do that
in terms of stream lining
bassically e.g aliexpress charges vat to you which does mean you gotta pay 20% more but you won't get hit by the clearance/admin charges
so kinda like amazon does it now?
Still gonna be cheaper than domestic shit.
yes
Alas... it feels morally wrong.
where will the 20% vat go tho
If you really cared you would buy domestic
to fellow chinks or eu
at that point I'll get tech shit locally because the extra will be worth it for the warranty
at least the more expensive stuff
eu
dunno about phones then tho
xiaomi is already in country
with local warranty and shit
ok so I paid 165 for my MiA1
originally it was 175 but I had gb points
so I avoid vat and thats the end
```Registration in the VAT One Stop Shop will be open to trustworthy sellers from outside the EU. ``` lol
lol gearbest
lol
with VAT it wouldve been 210 instead of 175
locally its 226 euro
so imo worth it for the warranty
at least aas i understood it
i only skimmed thru it
borrin af lol
bad link btw
yea sounds like therell be ways around it
