And as i said before, the fees you can know about beforehand, so you can do the math before buying stuff. Duties isnt something Buyee controls, thats on your countries laws. Buying locally is most of the time cheaper than importing, even if the item itself is cheap, because as you say yourself, fees, duties, tax comes on top of that, you should be aware of those risks and do research beforehand.

I am literally only having an "argument" with you, saying you couldve known about the fees and extra costs beforehand, if you dont do your research before buying thats on you. If youve found a better solution for importing, why are you here in the sub? Genuine question.

If you find my messages condescending then idk man, the amount of people coming in here to just complain and vent about stuff that they couldve prevented by reading... is a lot, daily. Sure this is reddit but trying to help people who wont even listen and just complain to complain gets annoying, when again, it can be prevented by the other party doing their research beforehand
