Since UK departed the EU it is not a great idea to use the UK as an intermediate for delivery to the EU. I’m surprised that TDs are still advocating this as a safer option.

It is just called UK Triangle Shipment, but they send it via other EU Counties these Days. And the additional Fee for sending via UK is still requested.

I was also wondering about this and in fact, the package is sent via a European country other than the UK. Interestingly, this seller expected a surcharge for it, and another has option included in free shipping (which I learned from tracking).

That's an interesting concept; sending to another EU state but not actually the intended destination. I’d love to understand the logic behind that. Are there certain European countries that are more lax about customs?

We didn't use UK forwarding for 2 years... We can ship directly to EU countries.

So the question is why is this shipping method still listed as highly recommended on your site and why are you charging for it.

 

[TingelTangelTom]

Well… if so maybe we should ask for 65$ discount for next order https://clickpix.org/image/6CB74922-B53D-45E3-862C-74CFE3D73EBE.zcmV7J
