    @Giles:

    OK.  After 6 months of experience shipping to the EU, we have a decent amount of empirical evidence under our belts.

    1. Shipping via The Netherlands gives us no advantages
    2. Paying 12% duty on Japanese goods shipped from UK to EU is unavoidable
    3. We will revert to shipping direct
    4. We will continue to ship DDP, which means that we will pick up any VAT, duty and fees on your behalf
    5. We have had to increase return shipping from the EU back to the UK to USD35.  It costs more to ship back to us from EU now than virtually anywhere else in the world
    6. We have had to implement an additional charge for the following countries:
      Latvia
      Estonia
      Lithuania
      Bulgaria
      Romania
      Croatia
      Greece
      These countries have decided that they can make money out of Brexit.  For instance imports into Greece are charged an additional £34.57 brokerage charge plus £12.80 storage on top of VAT, duty, disbursement.

    OK… glad the silly Austrians didn't join in.

              @Giles , I’ve been saying that for weeks. How come every other country that is also dealing with COVID isn’t experiencing the same issues that we are. Idiocy of the highest order.

                  And yet one the “senior” managers at work was loudly complaining in a meeting last week that “it’s about time that the EU decided where it wants it’s border with Ireland”.

                  There is so much wrong with that statement that I scarcely know where to begin……

                        I just can't with how fiscally detrimental that call was to separate. I hate the rad ppl like you, @Giles, get to enjoy the fallout of such a decision.

                            Giles you need to set up a triangle system where it sells to the US first, and then to the EEA.

                              Yep. Could you just make all sales routed through Iron Heart America? I suppose that really would be counter to all of the efforts to lower the carbon footprint of the brand, though.

                                  @sabergirl though we could probably replant the Amazon with all the costs saved with shipping directly into the EU

                                    @Danny RnH true that (nice to see you post and thanks for all of the great service, Paul, Ross and Ben are absolutely fantastic in the MCR shop, it would be nice to buy yas all a beer one of these days). @Giles if the price goes up for us so be it, it's still the best shit around and worth every penny. So frustrating all of this, but we'll all come through it and I don't see many people deciding this isn't for them any more, this is not your doing and the support isnt going anywhere
