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

wait what where

what the fuck fam

i take my words back we have thinks very good here

dear god thats some serious bullshit

plus we dont have to pay shit for eu purchases

EU is pretty good fam, I move around in SEA, importing shit is insanely expensive

I go to the black/grey market for my electronics.

mmm kazakhstan maybe ?

The fucking official price for the base Samsung S8 is equivalent to $1000

To give a perspective

here its 800 on local shops

so yeah i feel ya

Fucking third world governments

At least taxes in the EU are pretty transparent and shit

yeah turkey's the same. every year I go there to family i bring 1/2 phones i bought here.

do you guys have "gift tax" there

its like 1.5-2 times the price

no

if someone was to send you "free electronics"

when I ship from Ali I always mark it as gift and hope for the best customs officials don't snoop

If they do you're fucked

how many ali orders do you guys have

I recently broke the 100 orders

cant you just slip them a fiver in the third wolrd?

8

uh

you open up "my orders" and count the pages

each page is 10 orders

i've got 50

i couldn't count more than 15 i swear

i've got a lot of items that say "delivered"
