Truss (general uk sucks thread)

LT42 That’s a transaction on Amazon.co.uk versus Amazon.de with the same item, clearly showing it will be more expensive to shop online for people in the UK, Hursty.

I was trying to buy some stuff in the Stussy.co.uk (I think actually based in Germany) sale this morning and they no longer ship to UK.

LT, we all know Brexit is a shit idea, you’re preaching to the converted on here. I expect this board is about 95% remain.

LT42 I genuinely thought that there was zero tariff , zero quota agreed in the deal.

Are you sure that pic is legit? Did you price it up yourself? I’ve used Amazon DE myself, have an account there so will check it out.

bosstrabs I’m not trying to educate anybody, Dave. As far as I can see though nobody was aware of this particular scenario so early in the game. The least you could’ve done was thank me for the top notch info. Cunt.

Its bollocks mate, just tried it.

Hursty I genuinely thought that there was zero tariff , zero quota agreed in the deal.

Which is why this picture of the transaction was posted, Hursty. Seems you were fed more bullshit.

bosstrabs not my pic, Dave. I’ve no idea.

LT42 not my pic, Dave. I’ve no idea.

Then 1) why post it? and 2) call me a cunt for reiterating most people on here are anti-Brexit?

LT42 It’s fake mate, just logged into
my Amazon de account

There’s only one person behaving like a cunt in this thread at the moment then, and it’s not me.

bosstrabs I posted it because it shows its cheaper to buy from the EU site than going through the UK site, the user is Irish. Why the panic, Dave??

bosstrabs ah fuck off ya soft cunt, lol. I was only messing with you. Absolute bants fail by the self professed bantz master.

bosstrabs Basically we are dealing with fake news, I’ll post up my confirmation screen. No such thing as import tax, complete bollocks.

Hursty it’s not fake, Hursty. It’s an Irish amazon user comparing his transaction through the UK and German site, advising Irish users to avoid the UK site.

Hursty Basically we are dealing with fake news, I’ll post up my confirmation screen. No such thing as import tax, complete bollocks.

But there is a new VAT and import duty schedule into the UK.

LT42 And as I’ve said, I have an UK account and a DE account so just did the same thing.

No import tax for me on a pair of random 50 euro headphones to be delivered next week from Germany to my home address.
just 5 euro delivery. Standard.

Hursty You’re still not getting it really, it’s OK mate.

The country of origin and the type of good is important here.

This is turning out well.

Why is there import fees on an item shipping to Ireland from Amazon Uk and there isn’t on the German site? Are there any actual Brexit experts on here who can handle these tough questions?

bosstrabs Yeah I noticed the first item I picked couldn’t be shipped, a Fire stick.

Ah well.

LT42 Why is there import fees on an item shipping to Ireland from Amazon Uk and there isn’t on the German site? Are there any actual Brexit experts on here who can handle these tough questions?

As I already stated, it would be helpful if you could give us the country of origin of the goods and the actual good (some are duty exempt, and some are duty exempt up to a certain value).

Don’t have the info, Dave, as it’s not me. I suppose the only difference would be if the product was from the UK, which would still mean the deal Hursty is on about is a load of bollox.
Either way, I can’t find an explanation, other than maybe Amazon crediting back those fees if indeed that “deal” is intact. I’m sure there’ll be more anomalies like this over the next few months that will need to be discussed in here, if that’s OK, Dave?

I’ll pop back in here every now and then to inject some bants lads.

Let’s hope theres no confusion with the Brexit Bantz.

Have you pantywaists got over Brexit yet?

Have you had Covid yet Flares? How did you find it?

What’s a pantywaist?

-si- New one on me too, might add it too the locker filed under ‘deadly ammunition’

Project fe…..oh!

Hoping LT can start another intriguing keynsian discussion with another infographic
