For me that little gesture goes part way to offsetting the exchange difference.

Yeah, when i log in with my account, their system recognizes my Canadian shipping address and automatically removes the 19% VAT from all prices, which i do not have to pay. They also charge me 36EU shipping no matter what i purchase (weight and sizes) so i usually package large item purchases from them for a huge shipping discount compared to individual orders.HERMAN BIX wrote:If I ask, the German suppliers are happy to remove the VAT also.
