Wow.. Really? sag mir jetzt nicht dass ich sogar Zoll zahlen muss.. ? das ist ja mega blöd wenn die uns nicht direkt die sets verschicken könnten..
Sadly no, the orders will be shipped from USA and asia will have it's own proxy. For germans such as you and me this will only increase the shipping time by about a week, and shipping cost itself from something like 7 to 20 dollars. Not too terrible I'd say considering this is still a niece hobby where you have to expect unfortunate things like this.
Oh boy, this topic again. For the non-germans, he is complaining about import taxes.
For the 10th time, there is no difference between paying Import taxes and paying VAT.
Scenario 1:
You buy the set from a german vendor for 133$ plus 19% VAT and 7$ shipping, you end up paying 165.27$
Scenario 2:
You buy the set from a american vendor for 133$, pay 19% import taxes and 20$ shipping, you end up paying 178.27$
The difference, as I said before, is the longer shipping time and higher shipping cost itself, taxes are the exact same amount, at least for us germans as I pointed out because some countries also have a flat import
fee that are additional to the 19% or whatever it is for that country.
