About this picture
I couldn't help myself to make this after I saw the episode of Regular Show where this happened.
I think a lot of non-US collectors can relate... ^^''
Feel free to share or use whenever you see a fitting moment, haha!

This is probably one of the very few reasons that I am proud to be an American: No customs charges D:

I wonder if I've ever been charged customs? I don't really know how they work or what exactly they are =s

Oh, but you did get it? Or something went wrong with my PM?
fortunately here in Australia I only pay charges for items over $1000 AUD +u+
but while living in Canada, I knew this feel all too well ;_;
Yeah, I hear a lot of bad stories about Canadian customs too...
in Argentina I pay 85% in taxes
product + shipping + 85% /cry T_T

The first time I purchased from Japan I was pretty scared of customs charges, but nothing happened. I think postal service here is like that because people are still afraid of buying things from Internet. Maybe it's because these are figures and marked as TOYS through customs? I do know that customs charges appear mostly with electronic devices (or related to them) that come from USA
Hrmm, maybe they are more afraid of competition with the USA than Asia???
Almost everything I buy is also marked as toys and I still get the highest percentage of tax. ^^'' But the Netherlands is a country where online buying is crazy popular (also second hand market), so there are always lots of packages here.

Oh wow, I thought most countries in South America had a pretty rough situation with costums! :O You should read stories about your close-by countries Argentia or Brazil!

"imagine?" XD are you kidding? I almost only have pre-orders lol
And even then I kind of bite down on it and accept it, but I'm way more angry about having to pay for a bargain item I bought just because it was cheap in the first place, and having a big fat unnecessary fee slapped on it OTL
Oh, I personally barely have pre-orders anymore and buy mainly secondhand and then try to combine with same sellers/auctions, etc.
Yeah I remember when I heard for the first time about Black Friday I went "awww yeahhh cheap stuff" and bought a lot...to get a huge customs fee and pay about retail for the items. ^^''
this is sadly way too true
damn england
*pats on back* :(
