      Time to stop buying from abroad…

      I’m not kidding, I will not accept to fund this kind of racket….

      I remember when they first introduced a tax related to that. I was ordering a monthly package of diverse japanese snack of all kind for like 20€. I loved that stuff, even if a tad expensive.
      Then the law happened, and they sent me a letter. „Your package is currently on hold until you pay our taxes“, and they sent me a list of 20 items to pay… 1 to 2.5€ each. They put a price on each individual snack i had on this box. I was genuinely shocked at this bullshit.

      Is this for the ali express/temu packages? I knew it wouldn’t just be the €3 extra but also administration and what not..

      My grandmother sent christmas cookies from America. FOUR months after she shipped them I got a letter from customs/bpost demanding 40 euro. I told them to keep them because they were expired by this point. They arrived a couple weeks later -_-

      Yeah this is just ridiculous, a friend sent a package from the UK and the custom fees were 1.40 euro but thanks to Bpost the package doubled it’s price…

      Wait is this 21.50 on all packages outside of the EU? Can someone inform me?

      Worst part is, I had multiple packages where they said I had to pay import duties and the admin fee, yet i bought this at IOSS registered places, always a hassle to either proof to bpost or get it refunded by the seller. Oh and you can only dispute at Bpost before paying not after the fact

    17. LeTarrarosteIzzreali on

      Import = 11,04 €

      Other costs are administrative fees from Bpost.

      Boy the other day I ordered the iron fish for my ex and it came out as much as the fish itself we both looked at each other we both said nope.

      Ordered few books and comics for some 15 €, in the end they shipped it separately from UK. Total price of Bpost super cool handling 60 €.

      I totally agree. And the issue is that b posts is holding our package hostage. Technically, you can refuse to pay this administrative costs and do the import tax yourself. Big problem is you cannot reach your package.

      I ordered 30 euros worth of goods from Japan last month (vat already paid ioss)
      Shipping was pricey enough at 80
      But then the tax man and Bpost decided „Let’s add another 140 euros!“

      When I claimed I had already paid taxes, I got a form I could send to the original buyer to ask my vat back

      Yeah no lol

      Two years ago i wanted to buy a tabla set from India and ship to Belgium. Set $375 + Hardcase $165 = $540. And then i noticed the extra costs: shipping+import $580 ! So the total cost would have been $1120 !!

      Of course i cancelled. The world has gone completely crazy and very few actually notice it.

      I already said this years ago when IOSS was first introduced. https://www.reddit.com/r/belgium/comments/ofigqh/bpost_rekent_mensen_woekerprijzen_aan_voor_hun/ it’s absolutely disgusting. https://www.reddit.com/r/belgium/comments/197ymzj/bpost_vraagt_n%C3%B3g_hogere_woekerprijzen_voor/ I sincerely hope that bpost ends up torn apart and sold for scrap to other companies. Their customs racket is absolutely disgusting and I don’t understand why all journalists seem to avoid this clear scam. If anyone has any contacts at newspapers, get this shit pushed through and have them defend monopoly pricing. I’d love to see NVA put a knife on the throat of this dogshit company. Also r/bpostklachten

    33. Fake_Hyena on

      What’s especially hard is the fact that the VAT is calculated on value + the bpost processing cost.

      So BPOST accounts for 21 euro + 4,5 euro extra VAT.

    35. serieussponge on

      Quite frankly, screw ali express, shein and other temu’s. No tears about their taxes or import duties on my end. Of course, that doesn’t mean OP’s package is from there eh.

      I’m a teacher and I received a free book from the publisher in the UK (price of the book is around 30€).

      I ended paying afraid 26€ for my „free“ book.

    37. snqqq on

      Is TheVoiceOfEurope already defending it and saying it’s for our own good? 

    39. DukeHackwell on

      Bpost are just thieves, they tried to charge me import duty on a parcel from my father, I had to prove it was a gift even though my family name was on it and my fathers return info was on it as well 🤦‍♂️

      No, it (rightfully!) Discourages the relentless ordering of consumption products from far countries, effectively cutting CO2 emissions.

      We are on the verge of a massacre-scale catastrophe and some people will keep complaining abt their package costing more.

    42. tzw980 on

      This is due to the €3 tariff rule on all orders outside EU since July 1 2026. Bpost charges handling if the sender is not filing and pre-paying the tariff from source.
