Let’s use an example with [USER=28042]@jerm_ph[/USER] who paid 127 for shipping and taxes. Now that we don’t have the option to select taxes on ourselves during the shipping stage it will look like this:
• Refund = $127 - (shipping cost we pay the freight forwarder, say ~$80) = $47
• Once his case reaches his country he most likely will be unaffected, but in some cases there may be tax (say ~$30 based off what [USER=8149]@Hexxagram[/USER] said), which he has to pay.
By the end of the day [USER=28042]@jerm_ph[/USER] should still be wealthier by $17. It’s important to note these are just example numbers and we’ll know what they actually are once everything is shipped.
Basically, we’re going to back to shipping without taxes and refunding people the difference between what they paid and what we pay to ship their case. For the minority that actually get charged during import we’ll not be involved (we don’t have money to both refund the shipping difference and pay additional taxes they may get charged).
However, for anybody who paid something like $60 for shipping I wouldn’t expect to get a refund since almost every country we ship to costs us more than that. The shipping climate is severe now, especially for someone like us that calculated prices during a period before this happened. I don’t think anybody wants us to wait until things calm down again (when?) or ship by boat (to low volume and would probably arrive in mid 2022 due to all port congestion) instead of 5-7 days express.
