Tried out cheap-comics.com for the first time. Placed my order this monday and recieved the books today, well packed and all. The books were 45 euros and shipping landed at 15 euros (to Sweden). Pretty good I must say.

Yes, in my experience them and waltscomicshop.com are the best in the EU when it comes to packaging (at least when it comes to omnis, which is what I mainly buy). But how can you spend under 300 euros when ordering from cheap-comics?! They have the craziest amount of backstock not only in Europe, but I think on a global level. Whenever I am looking for an older book, especially obscure trades, cheap-comics is the first I check out.
Has anyone bought anything from Booksetc since the new year, or any other UK-based site? Were there any extra fees to pay or not?

I ordered before Brexit, but it was shipped after. They decided to ship it seperately. After four weeks one arrived with a value of 58 cents to high (22,58), so I had to pay 15 euro VAT etc. I have no idea where the other one is. Waiting for an answer on that. If they gave it the same value I'm in for another 15 euro. That's something I'm not willing to lay since they made a choice to ship it seperately. I could have ordered it in Europe: faster and cheaper.
Thanks guys. I keep hearing People talk about that UK made a special agreement regarding trade but I guess not.
VAT here is only 6 percent but The administrational cost is usually pretty high instead.
I placed an order before Brexit, got confirmation that it was shipped before Brexit... but it apparantly wasn't shipped until January 18. The seller, Forbidden Planet, and the carrier, DPD, each blamed each other - and I was stuck with the bill.
I was NOT pleased.
