Being Canadian is suffering
Being European is truly suffering
>>5725679
Brazilians have it worse
there's a dude here that's truly living in a collector's nightmare
>>5725671
>when you buy a second hand toy
>when the buyer never warned you that it'd stink of smoke
>>5725671
figma when?
>>5725671
>when you're American and have never gotten a customs charge
>>5725671
>when you buy a $40 toy and customs fee is $80
Basically avoided customs charges twice since I started collecting. Between that, it was always something like 20 to 35 euros. 35 when I got two figures (Figma and a SAS)
Kinda sours collecting for me.
>when the current exchange rate is triple of what it was 2 years ago
Is there anyway to avoid it? I mean i could buy double the figs, fucking robbers stealing my money.
>>5725703
but can you avoid the 'getting shot' charge?
>>5725932
Don't live near niggers
>>5725938
This. Living a quiet life in a quiet area while blowing cash on toys is the best feeling.
>>5725932
I live in a nice suburban place. The worst I get is Indians blasting Hindu dubstep at night
>>5725703
Enjoy the incoming customs charges when Shillary makes a deal
>>5725932
>be white
>live in almost exclusively white area
>get the benefits of being an American while experiencing lower crime rates than most Euro cities
Wow, that was hard.
>>5725932
Think about it this way.
I live in a town with little to no crime rates, so the possibility of me getting shot is very low.
You, however, get raped by both customs AND Muslims.
>>5726041
>white people don't commit crime
keep telling yourself that
>>5726053
>AND Muslims
trust me, if the government passes TPP, you'll wish you were under Islamic Law instead.
>>5726080
Not him, but I don't think you're aware of how bad Sharia is.
>>5726088
>TPP will send you to prison for 10-25 years for so much as downloading a single MP3
I'll take Sharia Law over Metallica Law.
>>5726100
TPP is fucking awful but it's not that god awful, m8. Exaggerating it a bit.
>>5726080
Nope. Islamic Law should be forbidden around the world.
>>5725671
Thats what you get for living in some 3rd world shithole, instead of being born into the privilege of power, wealth, and class that is America.
>>5726121
When will eurocucks learn?
>>5726142
>living in Asia's Australia
Next you're going to say that India isn't that bad
>>5726160
>Asia's Australia
Wait, is there an Australia for each of the other continents? Is North America's Australia Hawaii?
>>5726165
No, the whole US of A is America's Australia
>>5725687
Brazilian you said?
Argentina has two orders max per year, 50% customs charge and your package mus be revised and opened, good luck collecting sealed toys from 30 years ago.
>>5726537
>two orders max per year
Realistically, nobody keeps track of that. We have something like 1 package per month limit, but unless two or more of your packages end up getting processed in the same place at the same time you'll never get in trouble with ordering more often than you're allowed to.
Im Canadian, and i dont tend to have issues with customs.
I just dont buy a ton at once, only been dinged once with fees, and it was on a HUGE $450 box of Pokemon cards and collectibles. Only had to pay 20 bucks though.
>>5727898
I got dinged on a random SAL package from HLJ, once. And I've been buying shit for 6 years.
Also had an EMS package from China at full value (about $100 CAD) pass through with no issue, surprisingly. I've always been afraid to use EMS cuz customs.
>>5727934
I get the feeling that it's just random selection, at this point.
There's no other explanation for the spotty and inconsistent package checking.
>tfw even SAL costs more than the sum of the items
>Paypal suspends operations
>No Paypal payments, no credit card payments processed by Paypal
>Can't send or receive money
>%20 tax on anything over €75
> USD and JPY doubled in value in the last 3 years
Living in Turkey sucks.
>tfw when Aussie and i never have to pay custom fees either.
Streuth.
>>5728309
But you are an aussie, and the cost of things in the first place negates the lack of customs fees.
