Bah! First order through the new EU-friendly Books, etc. site arrived and I got CUTA'd anyway!
Have sent them an email. Book Depository is good about refunding the tax when this happens, as well as the handling fee. I hope this doesn't become a pattern for Books, etc. though as otherwise they're going to lose a lot.

I thought books were exempt from customs charges?

In the UK they are, but not Germany.
It isn’t a high tax rate even, 7% I think, but of course the sting is in the handling fee

Nope, but I can never find the Micronauts Omnibus on the Booksetc site.
Higher book prices are probably due to The Economy

Yeah, some Image books [Void Rivals] and various manga I collect haven't been seen on booksetc recently. I've been using Speedyhen, will give Awesome Books a go at some point.

Just preordered the second Aliens Epic from Awesome, who then charged my card right away. Pretty sure Speedy Hen, for one, don't do that.
