Books in EU (lemmy.world)

EDIT: local bookstores have it now. They just hadn't gotten it yet when I was looking for it

I am looking to buy Careless People from within EU. No local bookstores seem to have it (yet) but I would like to get it before it (maybe) gets pulled back. Any suggestions besides Amazon?

I am pretty sure that in Denmark they removed this? There used to be a certain amount that this could go without customs but now (due to wish and Alibaba) any package from outside EU get the custom treatment. I even had to pay for custom handling for a free product

No, that's a different thing. E.g., below โ‚ฌ25 or something. This is a EU thing. It's a bit complicated to explain though

Interesting. I'll have to look into it. Thanks!

But this is about VAT not customs? And seems to be for shipping between countries within the EU?
