      I'm going to be that person too, with a cherry on top.

      The Norwegian phrase used in the poster actually means "To the devil with you" or literally "The devil [Faen] take you [ta deg]". It is especially incongruous here as the Danish have the same phrase, "Fanden tar deg", but in the above poster they use the anglicised "Fuck deg", which we also use in Norway "Føkk deg". The same options are available in Swedish, but the poster suggests they use "knulla dig", which is entirely inappropriate as it it describes the desire to make love to someone, as opposed to the desire for them to disappear into the pits of hell.

      Teacher by day, teacher by night. Being an irritating twat is just a hobby. Sorry  😉

      Imagine the horror of trying to tell some government tax official to go to hell and you end up on a date with them!  😃

        @Giles how’s the progress coming along learning the 27 languages?  Are you going to learn them all or split them up amongst the crew?  I may have found a chart that could be helpful.  Delete if needed:

        not  to be one of those people but in the interest of clarity the French quote is "go fuck yourself."
        should have connard at the end.  Tradition is important.

        Well, at least the German one is accurate 😉

        Even "I love you" sounds like a threat in German.  ???

        Well, I have others.

            I'll let you know when we'/re large as Nike…..

            Seriously though, the Netherlands has always been a trading nation and it is well-positioned to ship to the whole of the EU.

            nice. hope everything goes smoothly..

              Not quite.  We are in the process of setting up a taxable presence in the Netherlands, but the Netherlands is unique in that we can do that without registering a company.  In the US, we had to do both…

              ahh right. I'm guessing it's the same as what a few major companies like nike do. I did notice that some of their worldwide sales are billed through the Netherlands.. I'm assuming the process would be somewhat similar to that?

                  Exactly, I was talking to Danny from Rivet and Hide about it the other day, I said I'm more worried about Brexit than Covid, hias response, I've been more worried about Brexit for ages, a pandemic only lasts 18 months….

                      Ordered IHSH-33B a couple of weeks ago, right around the time you had to suspend shipping to the EU. Great support by Graham, Adam and Ben processing the order and stacking the shirt while you got everything sorted. Got an email on Friday to inform me that you were resuming shipments and received the order today. Love the shirt, and I cannot stress enough how impressive the swift adaptation in these circumstances is.

                          I was devastated to read how badly this had hit the business. Really happy you guys have been able to resume operations so quickly, though. Those fees are outlandish. I hope the headache subsides sooner than later…

                            @Giles : I don´t know if I understood correctly. It will be the financial better solution for you guys if I buy directly from a german supplier, so that you don´t have to pay the high fees?

                            why so serious?

                              Nope, buying from us is fine.  But buying from a retailer is also cool.  Do whatever you feel happiest doing…..

                                  Thank you so much IH crew for setting this up so well and sparing us the hassle of customs duty and taxes! 😘 😘
                                  Ordered something last Wednesday and received shipment Thursday. 1 day delivery!

                                  Having no destination, I’m never lost.

                                      From the UK.

                                      However, as soon as we have done the legal things that we need to do, we will be bulk shipping all EU packages from the UK into The Netherlands, customs clearing them there, and then onward shipping to the end-user, at that point they will be an intra-EU shipment.  BUT, this will take about 6-8 weeks to put in place.
