So shipping and fees are almost always 30% on top of every import for me now in Germany. Also the $ became much stronger and is almost on the same level as the € now.

I have no idea if I have to pay import fees. Have never ordered from overseas before? Hopefully someone can let me know.

Maybe I can buy for you and you buy for me. Has to be cheaper right?!
