Sorry, I just had to start a new thread for this.
I ordered booties from Shopbop the other day, my absolute dream shoes (see my poll thread).
The shoes sort of arrived. UPS delivered today, but I refused to pay the custom fee: It's 230$!!!
Apparently, because the shoes were made in China, customs can apply an anti-dumping-fee, which is 16,8%.
I am so mad right now. I saved up to get these shoes that were expensive (for me anyways) all along, but I cannot pay 230$ on top of the regular 450$! That's like almost 500 Euros.
Also, that means I cannot order MBMJ (or eben MJ?) anymore when the store is located outside of the EU, because I never know if the item was made in China or not. So, fellow Europeans, think about the additional 16,8% when ordering!
Unfortunately, there is no other internet shop that sells these.
Living in Europe sucks sometimes! :s:cry:
Does anyone know if I could order these from Londons MJ shop? is there a phone number or email?
Thanks for letting me ramble…
Edit: Found the London shop number on his website. I'll try there. Edit 2: NO ONES THERE.
I gotta calm down.
