well i'll admit not having a credit card or debt card would make things more difficult, but not impossible. there are usually many other ways to pay. but i'm curious about how the taxation works if you, for example, were to mail order from some shop in the UK ? and why you have to go to customs ? can't you have a package delivered to your home ? john

The taxes are fucking huge, it will become too expensive. They set high taxes so "people will support the local buisnesses". Also you have to spend a day travelling to the customs to get a package. Top of all that, it requires a credit card. -- ask/dwave --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
