just a fair warning, high cost for a free POE t-shirt
|
hi
just a fair warning if you order a pack that included a t-shirt...and you are from the EU(in my case the netherlands..) dont take the t-shirt take the option to take store points for it... just had to pay 25€ VAT and inport cost for a basicly free t-shirt :P its a nice t-shirt and my daughter will love it so for this time i wont mind the 25€ but she better list it behind glass and hang it on the wall as collectors item :0 o well lessen learned Last bumped on Dec 30, 2016, 6:56:05 AM

WOW! I hate VAT. I feel sorry for you guys. I got the T shirt last year (old supporter packs) and paid nothing for it. That kinda sux for you. :(

Sorry; i don´t get the Point. What is VAT? And why Import cost?
My last T-Shirt came free and with no additional cost. The postman took the Shirt and stomped (meaning brute-force something in a place it does not belong) it in the post box. Perhaps something that refers to the NL? And, yes, i´m EU citizen. hic Rhodus, hic salta Last edited by Szygukka#1349 on Dec 22, 2016, 4:47:18 PM

I'm from Be and i never payed any additional fee's for my t-shirts from supporter packs though.
Peace, -Boem- Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes

Weird, I've had 2 t shirts in England, both have been marked as zero value and both have had no vat charged.

A common practice is to label these kinds of things as free gifts, in which case there's no VAT. Of course no one is likely to reimburse it either if it gets lost or damaged.
VAT is Value Added Tax. All EU countries have it. EU law mandates that when marketing things to customers (such as in catalogs or store shelves) prices must appear with VAT included. Where I live (Finland) the receipt lists the amount of VAT in the final price, but I don't know if that's the case everywhere. Be = Belgium likely. |

Switzerland I have like 5 t-shirts, never paid a cent, and we pay vat on everything abroad!
It's paid from GGG so it should be free... No Problem,

seems they didnt open the package and the bill inside for 1$ for the shirt..i had to provide proof it came with the game package that costed 60$ and so they based it off the 60$ and not the 1$ on the reciept..
gonna check if i can fight the bill tho...tho i think the shirt is great i would have rather spend that 25€ on storepoints :) |
