same here from finland

taxes on top of taxes

I'm probably going to buy one for my mom

and then some more taxes

+ eu-illegal taxes too

fucking 21% VAT when I order something above 22 euros, man

yeah, and import fees above 150

yup

but you can avoid it @🚂Quatroking🚂 (🇳🇱)

if you tell the seller to declare it with a price bellow 22

they don't always do that

try 24% (and 24%+ 44%for alcohols)

yeah I imagine, never needed to do it myself

thats where "german warehouses" jump to the mix when shopping

i ordered something from iherb for like 40euros, but didn't know about the fee

they seized it at customs, needed to pay 30 euros to get it

in cash

because it's 2017

and everyone pays everything in cash

yeah due customs dont have card payment option

>if you tell the seller to declare it with a price bellow 22
doesnt always work

last time i needed to get something i asked wrote them check and said "its perfect legal option for cold hard cash and you cant deny it"

they called around 15 minutes around and were like "fuck you we take it"

I don't think cheques are still a legal thing here in nl lol

and dont ask me why i happened to have old cheque book

what do you mean dont have card payment option?

you cant pay with card there

only cash

where?

no visa no mastercard no nothing on customs office

only cash

oh for me it wasnt at the office, i had to pay online

dhl website

or do you mean pay for import

dhl <3 i wish they were in finland too instead of Posti

i dont even know how that works

do you call customs and say fam ive got something comming in here's the VAT

yeah in pre-declared it works like that

mhm

but yeah last time i have seen cheques here have been my own (or some competition prize things (you know those huge cardboard ones))

21% is not that bad, the place I live right now taxes 50% for imported electronics
