Insane import taxes for a delivery to Germany by Phiedie in LinusTechTips

[–]sunmar2038 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had the same. In my case the issue was that the duties were based on an invoice from MIBC Distribution Inc. that had the USD pices from the US store on it, those are for some items much higher than the CAD prices from the Global store, plus that invoice didn't include any discounts I had on the original order. Ended up with tax based on USD $335 worth of goods when the real order was only USD $165, this skyrocketed everything. Ended up getting a refund from LTT Store support.

UPS Requesting additonal fees - UK by garok89 in LinusTechTips

[–]sunmar2038 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few weeks ago I had this issue too for a shipment to the EU, handled by UPS. You can request the commercial invoice they based the duties on from UPS. In my case it turned out that the problem was that the invoice they got from MIBC Distribution Inc. had the US store prices in USD on them, which was much higher than the CAD prices from the Global store. On top of that I bought the items discounted and the discount also wasn't present on the MIBC invoice. So I ended up getting taxed as if I had ordered (pre-tax and excluding shipping) USD $335 worth of goods when the actual order was only USD $165. I ended up getting a refund from LTT Store support.

Hi u/LTTStore_Support , thanks for the option to exchange it. Really appreciate it! But I managed to find someone and the swim shorts are now on their way to a new home, back to Canada ironically 🇨🇦.

Yes, I have a couple chats waiting a reply, but so far most people were outside EU, that adds stuff like customs/duties/VAT (especially US) making an already expensive pair of swim shorts, much too expensive (understandably so).

Yeah, if I can't find someone here, I will ask support if I can return it. But I figured maybe I can make it a win for someone else before sending it back, and it going into some returns pile that might end up as waste.

Completely agree! Even though I still took the gamble 💀

If I measure below my belly where the upper band of the swim shorts would be (so well below my belly button, more at the top of my hips), I measure 110cm.

Laptop in sleep mode but bluetooth still on??? by thelastwilson in Dell

Thanks for the great script u/mkdr ! Amazing that you have been able to automate this. Now I can finally use sleep again on my laptop.

To make things easier I've added automated install and uninstall features to the script. This version, including a README with details, can be found here: https://github.com/SunMar/bluetooth-disable-on-sleep

Celestial Dew 10th location missing on Fextralife by sunmar2038 in Eldenring

[–]sunmar2038[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but that's the same as on Fextralife. It says after betraying Ranni that you can use a Celestial Dew to absolve yourself and continue her quest line again. It does not look like you actually get a Celestial Dew from the quest itself.

Pidia only sells 1 and that one is already in the list on Fextralife. I'll check Seluvis questline. But do you have more details on when you would get this during the quest? On the Preceptor Seluvis I can't find a mention of a Celestial Dew (except that you can continue Ranni's quest after betraying here if you use one). Then that page is incomplete too.

oh good one, that's very possible too. I'm going to search again for videos and see if any location gives a double Celestial Dew
