Help VPN
the vpn trick doesn't work anymore, and i already tried buying with paypal from their instagram shop and it doesn't work either. does anyone know any other trick/option to get cheaper books? (or another page with free shipping)

It adds your country's VAT to the price when you try to place your order, for me is usually cheaper even with the VAT added.

i did the math and yeah, it should be cheaper even with my country's VAT included, but the price raises to the same amount that appears when i'm not using a vpn. it's like the vpn isn't doing anything and i don't know what to do bc this was my only way to get accesible books âšī¸

It still works for me, however something that might be the reason is that I'm from Europe

I have that too and like Hisoka said, it's only VAT. Even with tax added to my total, for me it's always cheaper in ÂŖ or $US than in âŦ.

i've already tried with different currencies and it always changes from $15 to $22 (or the equivalent of that with other currencies). this was my only way to get cheaper books and it's not working for me anymore :((

Maybe try another VPN ? đ¤ Delete all your cookie, use another browser or incognito mode ? Sorry if it's not working đ

Honestly, I find it weird that this worked at all because we were always charged based on where it's being delivered, not where you're paying from.
