For our tourney last Saturday Mantic sent us a price package and I had to pay UPS around 24€. I did it “gladly” because the goodies were worth more so it was only taking away some of the money that we’d use to buy more prizes. And those prizes, which included more Mantic stuff, where bought locallly.
With how things are, I’m buying 0 hobby stuff outside the EU. If a local hobby shop carries your product, even at a higher price, I’ll buy it. Because I’ll know exactly how much I’m paying for it. I don’t like having to pay extra fees.
The big losers here are the small companies.
