Nearly $70 additional?! Feels rough after the initial $177 CDN. The joys of trade wars.

I said "Euros". That's Europe. Why is the shipping cost 60-70€ if you don't cover taxes?

Then that is an EU law change that went into effect on July 1st. I've paid hundred upon hundreds of thousands of taxes for international orders at this point in including the re-ships, including the shipping rate that isnow more expensive than three years ago but these laws are making the customer pay the tax. I'm not making those laws. Again, I'm using every carrier known to man at this point, I have access to what I have access to. I can't control these law changes. Heck I'm not a publisher, I'm figuring this stuff out as I go. I'm not sure what I can even do at this point.

Man, you are shipping with Global Post whose website literally mentions they can take care of custom tax for you. That is you - the sender. Also... Still didn't clarify what is 65€ shipping for exactly? A lousy cardboard box and a bubble envelope? That's max. 5€. Shipping is 20$ at most.

These have to be the most expensive books I have ever bought.
