Highlights from this day
germany, whats the actual difference in cost between a private and a statutory prescription
as of about a year ago statutory cover in germany for weight indications still was not there, so check before quoting me on it
that is the thing people get wrong constantly. approved and paid for are two completely different processes in the eu
the language barrier with support is real. i write in short plain english and it works better than good english does
transit inside the eu was 6 days for me door to door, which is faster than anything i have had from outside it
cross border in theory
anyone in the netherlands able to say what theyre paying
🧪11📉10
poland came out cheapest of the four countries members compared about eighteen months ago
vat on imports from outside the eu applied from a very low threshold when i last imported, and the carrier handling fee was bigger than the vat
approval isnt reimbursement
is carrying it in a suitcase inside the eu a problem
send both languages
reported by members, own currency, not comparable directly

any figure in this channel should be read as the month somebody typed it, not as the price today
coming back to this has anyone crossed a border specifically to buy it

crossing a border to buy it happens and people are quiet about it, which tells you how comfortable they are with it
