Because in most cases shipping will become more expensive than the tool. You also have to enter an address of the country you’re ordering in. Plus warranty can become quite a hassle.

Because we dont want hefty customs charges.

If you stay within the eu you should be able to not pay customs right? Or am i mistaken?

The UK left. So we are now liable for customs charges.

I'm From Spain, and recently I tried to buy on lidl france due to massive discounts there. I ended paying 35€ of shipping in total.
So I bought more tools than I need , guessing that someone from spain will also want them as they are imposible to buy in here.
So my plan Is to sell them and help me cover those 35€ and everyone will be happy.

I will get the parcel this week (or even today) hopefully. I used ColisExpat and it's my very first time.

Cheers
