      And how much will An Post charge to process it?

      Its already such a ballache to order from england compared to before brexit. Delay due to the item getting stopped for you to be notified to pay the tax, you immediately pay, then processing fee, the processing time. Now another flat fee on top – so will it be about 8€ before tax on all items?

      Then how about you fucking make EU companies ship to us? So many stores from the continent won’t ship outside their own country let alone to Ireland.

      What sickens my hole about these things is that it’s layers of shafting you. And of course it’s present with this thing too. So not only is there a ‘small parcel tax’ … but they are deciding on how much to charge as a ‘handling fee’ as well. Like how many times do they want to draw from the same well ? And then of course the delivery people may add another charge for the bother of dealing with the tax & handling fee on your behalf.

      It’s opaque and unpredictable, no matter your best efforts in trying to calculate the final cost before deciding to purchase or not, you frequently tend to get surprised when you get a pre-delivery invoice from whoever is delivering it. And that’s exactly the area where you can get taken advantage of and someone in the chain can clean up.

      Good job most of the Chinese sites already have EU distribution centers.

      If the EU wants us to buy more stuff in the EU they should make EU shipping mandatory for companies. I would buy from EU sites but most won’t ship.

      People will evidently cry and moan but this will do wonders against the damage fast fashion is doing to our planet.

      I wonder will books be exempt from this like they are from customs charges? Pain in the ass if not cos some of the stuff I buy is hard to find in shops but thanks to the exemption can still come from the UK easily enough.

      So Eu businesses can order in bulk cheap Asian products but individuals get an extra charge. Other than just protecting bad brick and mortar EU resellers what is the point of this rule. 

      The internet has allowed individuals to cut out a useless layer of middle men. It’s great. Am I missing something?

      Most shops just resell temu rubbish anyway. Just a tax because we stopped paying middle men.
