noone is okay with it, ask the murricans why they charge 35 fucking dollars to ship a single book.

I heard they taxed vacuums that used more than 1400 watts or something.
Isaac Cooper
Yep, all of that is VAT and import duties. I don't know why you Yuros let yourselves get cucked like that either.
Hunter Campbell
learn some basic economics and import tax you dummy
Hunter Watson
>import tax
