       A bunch of the European businesses I've done business with in the past for my audio DIY obsession are simply REFUSING to ship to the USA now. I mean I get it and I sorta support it, but it sorta sucks.#Politics #Europe

       @Ricardus Dunno if the procedure has changed since last summer. Back when they removed the exception for small value packages, and put in all that bureaucracy, plus handling fees plus commissions on customs duties from the parcel companies ... for small companies it wasn't a question of "we don't want to" it was simply "we can't".When you have customers who wait months for customs and then having to pay 2-300$ fees on a 400$ order and they want you to solve the problem, it's not possible.

       @betabug Yeah, I get that. It sucks because there are things I want to order and would have to get them sideways through relatives in the UK or something.

       @Ricardus I hear you, brother. Trump says we have to live with high prices as a kind of wartime sacrifice. I see coping with the sanctions other nations are starting to lay on us as somewhat the same thing. Different enemy. Different war. But it's part of how we win.

       @Professor_Stevens Yeah, I get it, but I want to someday order the remote for my MC624 monitor controller!   🙂 The World Cup is going to be some kinda clusterfuck if the (European) fans who say they won't come, don't come.It is quite the shit show.Good hearing from you. Haven't heard from you in a bit.

       @Ricardus Oh, I'm still here. Moving in some new directions lately, but Mastodon is too good to leave.
