   Why I am not ordering anything from the UK any more:

   Sticker: GBP 2,50
   Shipping to NL: GBP 3,00

   Eh fine, I am happy to support an artist. So the sticker was sent to NL.

   Then customs decided to take their share of 21%. So Converted back to euro this is 21% of € 5,43 which is € 1,14.

   Are we there yet? Nooo, the postal agency wants their share too for handling all this terrible paperwork and is charging me another € 6 for it.

   So, i got me a sticker for € 12,57. Super. So yeah, Thank #brexit for this and everyone who voted for it. I'm not ordering anything any more from the UK. :(

     That's the price of freedom from the EU. But EU customers will not pay it for you.

     @fox I stopped selling to EU countries (from the UK) for similar reasons. It's now easier and cheaper for me to sell to people in Australia than it is the Netherlands. 😞

     @fox yep. The only thing I still import from UK to Germany is books because there's no need to pay for customs, only shipping.

     @fox Allegedly, the most searched for term on Google the day after the referendum was, "What is the EU?"

     Fucks sake. And both main political parties won't admit the failure because they will lose the voters.
