Just listened to Maiden Voyage and it sounds great. The Only complaint is that they credited a picture to Kjell Runar and not me.
I paid customs (which was a nice, low €1.20, plus the annoying, stupidly high €7.50 fee – that's Sweden for ya) last week, and I got the package here in Stockholm yesterday. Super nice reading and cool pix with the "Maiden voyage" release.
Will soon/"soon" try to sell the three albums from this bundle that I don't want to keep
Then try ordering from outside of the EU in Denmark:
25% VAT + import fee of €22 for goods between €0-155. Above €155 add an additional 2,5% customs on the value of goods, packaging and postage, then add VAT of that price, then add import fee.
Needless to say, these limited releases are already too expensive before postage, VAT and fees. I have stopped buying them.
The import fee in Norway, btw, is €15.
It's all political, and apparently we love to pay taxes and fees up here in the north in order to protect our home market. Question is: Who does it protect? Not the creators, that's for sure.
@The Other Anders: Ouff 8O Sorry to hear that, and thanks for putting things into perspective! Sweden isn't that bad after all. Even if Postnord has invested billions in deteriorating service here during the last decade, I gotta remind myself that customs ain't Postnord, and it can always be worse – somewhere else, or here soon. Sorry for offtopicism!
@grindove: No worries. "Postnord has invested billions in detoriating service", hahaha
Right on! And to add unsult to injury, it's taxpayers money.I don't find our ramblings here off topic at all.
