Warning Swedish Cosplayers (and anyone buying shit online in this country)
Just recently postnord (the primary delivery service in sweden) put in effect a tax on any package coming from out of the EU equal to 7,50 euros. This means that if you for example buy something for one euro from eBay and it is shipped from Kina (as most things are) it will still cost you 8,50 euros (or 85 kronor). It is complete bullshit and I'm mad as hell at the fuckbags who thought this was a good idea especially since I just recently bought a couple of things from out of the EU for cosplay purposes (things I cannot send back). This means that I have to pay an additional 30 euros to the things I bought even though I didn't buy for more than 20 €, altogether it will cost me around 50 € (or 500 kr). It is a horrible abuse of e-commerce which at this point really is just a part of daily life.
I hope that they will fix this sometime soon, the backlash is already huge enough, but until then I just wanted to get this warning out to anyone in the habit of buying from out of the European borders, living in sweden.
I hope you all stay safe and aren't surprised by any unwelcome additional costs in your day-to-day life. Goodnite.
