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.
