One guy refused due to VAT Another said he did not get his package when the track clearly says it was delivered. No clue. We have had around 10 of these in the past 3 months. Maybe it is time to just go domestic? Your thoughts? It hasn't been worth shipping to Europe the past decade. Shipping USPS International is outrageously expensive. If you ship using Ascendia, the shipping is a bit cheaper, but it is going through third party, so riskier. Then Europeans whine about VAT even though they voted for welfare states, so they want you to lie on customs form, which is a federal crime. That's quite a stereotype and says more about you than any quantity of Europeans. In all my time here as a seller, I've had only 2 customers ask for a slightly lower amount on their forms. ~Jen
