Only if you buy from a foreign store directly which is relatively niche. It's much more common for an importer to pay the duties and then put the product in local stores.
- Symbiote 1y agoPart of the reason it's relatively niche is because people did it once, then didn't like the surprise customs bill that arrived. (Or they heard about this from a friend/colleague.)
- carlosjobim 1y agoThat makes no difference for the price.
- Dylan16807 1y agoWell yeah. The point they're responding to was about how different stores display things in the same economic situation.
- mvdtnz 1y agoBuying from a foreign store is not niche at all. I think it's insanely common. I think most people do it multiple times a year. Why would you think it's niche?
