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

2017-05-08 18:40:48 UTC  

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

2017-05-08 18:40:59 UTC  

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

because it's 2017

and everyone pays everything in cash

2017-05-08 18:42:14 UTC  

yeah due customs dont have card payment option

2017-05-08 18:42:35 UTC  

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

2017-05-08 18:42:46 UTC  

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"

2017-05-08 18:43:18 UTC  

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
