New Ali Express Stationery Haul 

I wonder why it’s so much more. Is it the currency rate?

@@GinaParillo About two years ago or more the government of Europe seen how popular AliExpress was with European citizens so they worked with AliExpress to set up a new tax system. At the end of every purchase I make, I'm charged 23% tax off the total purchase price. . Sadly many sellers added 23% extra to their item price and are pretending that this is the taxes fault. But the tax is charged at checkout when I'm paying. It's dishonest of the seller but they saw an opportunity to make more money and took it. Some sellers even added more to price. To be fair, not all sellers do this. But on most listings I'm paying about 40 to 50 percent more than the same listing on your app. And then when I checkout I pay 23% tax on the total price.. Temu do not have this tax for European buyers on their app. Not yet anyway. So I think I will start buying from them instead. 💖
