Other people from the EU may not have the Standard Shipping option at all. And if they do, it may f.e. take 40+ days.
The order amount and the tax policies of your country can also be a factor. In .nl, if the amount is > EUR 150 then you have to pay import taxes (next to VAT), for which the delivery corp can charge processing fees.
40+ days for Air shipment is too much. It's much better in Canada.
My bad, I mis-read your reply as I originally ask for your cost via DHL.
I have no issue on paying tax to my country. I'm aware of that and I'm ok with that.
Below is what I need to pay when I order from Pine64 to Canada:
1. the cost of the item itself.
2. the shipping cost $30.
3. import tax (including the VAT) to my government 13% of the item price.
4. DHL handling fee. (the ransom) - no where in the shipping policy saying this cost
5. extra tax (i.e. VAT in your terms) on DHL handling fee. (you pay tax on paying the ransom)
Do I read it right that even in EU, DHL can charge for the handling fee and you guys are paying it as well?
Then back to my point: Why we cannot have the choice to choose Standard mail. Yes I know it's going to take 40+ days. I just don't want to pay ransom.
