I hope there's some depraved dude here with lots of ideas

So pls

never mind on my customs situation, turns out shit's the same, 80 euros customs tax <:kms:327934280619655179>

my only other option is ordering from gearbest which claims to have a warehouse in europe but

*gearbest*

Gearbest has a special shopping method for German customs

>when tax evasion is a service

@Millie what do you mean?

Millie, that's me.

There's a special shipping method that avoids customs tax for shipping to Germany.

ive nevre been hit by customs yet

My chinkphone got taxed because I used express shipping

i'm not german though unfortunately

Maybe there's an alternative for you

A similar thing for your country

i don't know.

i'm wacking my brain right now

aliexpress one is from china but includes tablet, keyboard and stylus but risking customs + long wait time

gearbest is from europe but no keyboard or stylus and the tablet alone is expensive

EMS seems to be most likely to dodge customs from experience but you're paying more off the bat, so it's likely just doing customs up front.

right

SKMEI 1251 arrived today. Super thick. I wish it was a bit slimmer.

@Cole no chinamen in my local area that dont make Chinese food, sad!

@johnfrum ask those to fix your phone

@xnanigans the shipping method Millie is talking about is Priority Line

they ship to their own customs point/warehouse thing

and no VAT

and GB brought it back just a couple of days ago

so its ur lucky day

I don't know. I really don't know. I'm seeing that either way the price ends up more or less the same. What I don't pay for customs and etc in gearbest, I pay for it in accessories that are not bundled.

I'm just going to get raped by china

if you use priority line you dont get hit by vat iirc

doesnt look like priority line is back for all items, though

yeah but what i mean is I don't pay for vat but I pay for the rest of the parts separately which are the same price as getting a bundle from ali + customs

you can ask the seller if he can help you avoid taxes

they write a smaller price on the package

and you just need to photoshop the receipt

It's Chuwi

holup

both in gearbest and aliexpress the seller is supposedly official chuwi

man im gonna go for a smoke this shit is wacking my brain
