Why I am not ordering anything from the UK any more:
Sticker: GBP 2,50
Shipping to NL: GBP 3,00
Eh fine, I am happy to support an artist. So the sticker was sent to NL.
Then customs decided to take their share of 21%. So Converted back to euro this is 21% of € 5,43 which is € 1,14.
Are we there yet? Nooo, the postal agency wants their share too for handling all this terrible paperwork and is charging me another € 6 for it.
So, i got me a sticker for € 12,57. Super. So yeah, Thank #brexit for this and everyone who voted for it. I'm not ordering anything any more from the UK. :(

"Brexit is no longer an abstract future goal, where coming benefits can be talked up, while potential drawbacks are dismissed as partisan pessimism. Brexit is now a lived reality, whose frictions and costs are a daily experience, and whose promised gains have not arrived."
