Highlights from this day
  • ghk_gia — how are people managing when support only speaks one language and it isnt yours 21:23
  • monoisotopic — parcels entering the eu get assessed at the first point of entry rather than at your own border, which caught me out badly, thats one data point 21:26
  • lyophile_liv — pharmacy prices in germany were fairly uniform when i checked because of how they are regulated. in spain they varied much more, someone check my working 21:31

i keep a note of what i paid each month because the number moves and my memory of it does not

LL

transit inside the eu was 10 days for me door to door, which is faster than anything i have had from outside it

update from 19 months ago: nothing changed on reimbursement where i am and the price went up anyway

MO

the language thing improved a lot when i stopped using idioms, and that was the actual fix

nobody here can tell you what is legal in your country and the mods stop that conversation early, we shall see

my last customs bill was about twenty two percent of declared value plus a fixed handling charge that hurt more than the tax did

while im here i had one pharmacy in another eu country refuse a foreign prescription and one accept it, same month, same paperwork

i order about six weeks ahead because a customs delay inside the eu still cost me 23 days once
