>Don't forget the $5 'processing fee'. On a $20 item, this can be painful.
Heh, that's cheap.. If something gets caught in our customs, the first thing they do is slap a handling fee of almost $9 to the sum. Then they take the declared value _including_ the shipping cost + the $9 fee and add no less than 28.5% to the whole shebang (25% VAT and 3.5% customs fee). It doesn't end there either. To actually receive the package you have to pay the entire fee at the post office, and they will charge you $5 just for the hell of it. Can you imagine, if you pay bills or whatever at the post office in Sweden, you have to pay a fee of $5 _for each payment you make_! If that isn't absurd, we need a new definition of the word. - Peo ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.
