@injunjack:

feckin' Ebay sellers…

"Thank you for your message. Unfortunately, I am unable to ship outside of the UK"

BAH...

Dont cave in, boycott the mutha and tell him to go feck his own pompous ass.
This, as you can see, really infuriates me. Usually it's from US sellers, first time I see a UK seller acting like this. Probably another mental slave to the US…

[rocket]

have seen that alot of times from UK and US sellers, never got that…

[Megatron1505]

Although I perfectly understand "Will not ship to Italy".

4 parcels sent, 4 parcels lost (stolen), answer from Paypal "You need to use a special courier". Useless.

[Seul]

No - not useless… Italy is one of those countries that isn't even protected by ANY USPS service... No kidding...

Which is why I don't deal with Italy (or Spain)...

[jacoavlu]

I just sent a package to Italy USPS no troubles (that I'm aware of)

[Seul]

There are always the exceptions… 

[rocket]

actual I have sent in the last 12 or so years around 3000 sendings to Italy and there is not a single lost sending
that I'm aware of…

[Seul]

rocket: lads who look great in 801s don't get their mail fecked with…

[rocket]

better not, I don't take prisoners with that kind of stuff…

[Seul]

I used to ship out about 1000/ packages per year… Only had issues with Spain and Italy... All of my mates who run record labels decide on the same thing: FUCK Italy... Don't get me wrong though: except for Berlusconi and all them fecking right winged PUTAS it's my fav country of all times... 

[rocket]

I hear that all the time…. the only "lost packages" for 2011 are from the UK and Australia and one in South America, think it was Chile. Oh and a clown in South Korea that thought he could scam me, poor little boy......

sale's tax sucks so bad…so so bad.

[DrPat]

It's not as bad as a 19% VAT.

[J-IV]

That doesn't sound too good. How does VAT necessarily work? Is the 19% added to the price on which you bought it?

[Seul]

Honestly, us €uropeans have nowt to complain about…

1.00 EUR  =  1.39485 USD

Yes, if something costs a £1 you pay £1.19 or £1.20 in the UK. (20% VAT here)

[Seul]

21 % in Belgium… 

[J-IV]

Meanwhile, the American dollar gets lower and lower…
Anyways, enough about economical distraught. It's making me want to read the WallStreetJournal

@Seul:

21 % in Belgium… 

My initial rant is slowly losing its edge. Hahaha

[Jii]

23% VAT over in Finland..  The prices listed within the EU always includes the tax, so you don't have to be a math wizard to figure out what stuff costs..
