Thank you for being a friend! And we'll stay in touch! ✌🏼

If you're shipping to EU and the orders are made via Bandcamp please make sure that it's more than obvious and clearer than crystal that these taxes have already been paid. It's necessary that anyone looking at the packaging can see this.

MAYBE that's enough and noone has to pay taxes 3x.

Orders from USA/UK to EU via Bandcamp

- EU countries get extra taxes on top which are collected by Bandcamp
- sometimes this doesn't work out and EU countries cash in taxes on already double taxed orders
- in this case EU postal services demand extra fixed amounts

I'll give you an example:
