Brexshit

We "sold" two pairs of Wesco boots to a guy in Germany recently. He returned both pairs. That cost us Euro600 on taxes, duties, fees, and shipping charges for zero revenue.
I may as well be ripping up banknotes and flushing them down the toilet, it would be a lot easier way to piss away Euro600.
Small price to pay to make the Empire great again, eh?

I'll just insert another pin into the wax effigy of you, that I always have to hand….
So I guess that's not a kidney stone after all. Good to know

Pre Brexshit, I could bring as much deerskin as I liked over from Germany. Now, we have to do this:
_The Shipper’s Export Declaration (S.E.D) is needed to leave the origin country.
An S.E.D is required by the government when an export:
•Contains any single type of commodity with a value limit.
•Contains a commodity that requires a validated export license regardless of the value.
•Contains a commodity with a license exemption._I have a horrible feeling The Big Buck just became seriously endangered….

Wow that sounds like a mess…..
Other than the big buck in outlet do you have others in stock now?

OK. After 6 months of experience shipping to the EU, we have a decent amount of empirical evidence under our belts.
- Shipping via The Netherlands gives us no advantages
- Paying 12% duty on Japanese goods shipped from UK to EU is unavoidable
- We will revert to shipping direct
- We will continue to ship DDP, which means that we will pick up any VAT, duty and fees on your behalf
- 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
- 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. So to send a USD32 pair of socks, we pay circa GBP90 for the shipping and associated costs…..

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……
