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
