(Might also work for UK Amazon). In Germany commercial packages are taxed if stated value plus postage exceeds 22 Euro. The trick (I found this out by accident) is to buy yourself a gift certificate and apply it towards your purchase. The price they list on the package is thus reduced!Indeterminacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11112417911577798263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11152564.post-1164098487039389352006-11-21T00:41:00.000-08:002006-11-21T00:41:00.000-08:00Tearriffs - I think kids shuold allways get in for...Tearriffs - I think kids shuold allways get in for free.The Boy from S.A.C.A.D.A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03807289491286703054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11152564.post-1164093554407697422006-11-20T23:19:00.000-08:002006-11-20T23:19:00.000-08:00I really can't top the 2006 update.
