Oh yeah, instead we have 20 USD letter posts from the US to us through eBay/Amazon, with additional import fees of 250-400 euros for orders that were already 1-2k USD when we bought them.
Luckily there are still US sellers who know how to change their shipping option to a regular letter for 1.50-3 USD instead of the default eBay shipping fees that starts at 22 USD shipping. I once lost an item I was willing to spend a max of 140 USD for in total which ended at 95 USD… It had 65 USD shipping and additional import fees on arrival for a 150 grams product…
Ah well, as you said: we can’t have it all! /endrant
(I might delete this post later. Sorry, for the negativity (very unlike me)…
Thanks for sharing @sanzonw , and enjoy the discount people from the US! )
