It was on the news earlier today that companies in the EU are no longer shipping goods to UK customers due to rules introduced by HMRC about at what point VAT should be collected. It means companies outside of the UK need to open a special account and register before shipping. The problem is they have to pay £195 todo so and are clearly stating they wont be.
"The problem is they have to pay £195 to do so and are clearly stating they wont be".
What sort of moron wouldn't pay a £195 one off fee to sell £millions of product into their biggest market? It begs belief that there are actually people out there who think like this.....personally I dont believe it.

The sort of morons who make a big fuss about having to sell their bananas in kilos instead of pounds but would be happy to go the European Court of Human Rights if a dog crapped on their driveway.xtrader16 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 05, 2021 10:35 am"The problem is they have to pay £195 to do so and are clearly stating they wont be".

Sorry Archery but typical media wind-up and typical BBC (LL Remoaner) storyline! "Some EU specialist online retailers"! Well what do you know, "SOME" ... could that be 2, they only quote from 2 companies but I'm sure you only need 2 to justify a "some" comment!Archery1969 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 05, 2021 12:07 pmThis is the article from the BBC website:xtrader16 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 05, 2021 10:35 am"The problem is they have to pay £195 to do so and are clearly stating they wont be".

As you will know markets do not like a vacuum. If one supplier pulls out another will soon fill the void ... let's just let the BEEB carry on flying their political flag, disseminating biased views and overpaying GL for at most 30 mins MOTD every week in season ... he can't even be bothered to get off his arse for the Sunday night show! They know their income is guaranteed so they can peddle and pay whatever they want, it's only taxpayer money not their's.

And in the world that actually matters, building materials up 50% + 8 week lead times.
Not all doom and gloom though. Now we're 'free of European data laws", the govt are stopping cookie warnings from being mandatory to "make the digital marketplace easier to navigate". Mmmmmm I'm not sure Amazon et al needed much more help to kick the High St in the bollards but there you go.
I know an Edinburgh greengrocer thats totally fed up with Brexit. Red tape is delaying his deliveries from abroad to the extent 30% of his stock never reaches the shelves. I know it was always going to be a bumpy bureacratic maze, but with Covid, businesses are under serious threat due to Brexit.
And you can see it in the FTSE. The US Dow has recovered all the covid ground and is back on the pre-covid trajectory. We are not.. We're at 2016 levels.
If I knew about the cookie warning it might have swung my vote.ShaunWhite wrote: ↑Fri Aug 27, 2021 8:15 pmAnd in the world that actually matters, building materials up 50% + 8 week lead times.

Could the prices of materials or just goods be up in general because of, erm... printing money?. I mean, you dilute your currency and those that export goods to you will demand more in return?. As for delivery, didn't we just go through a comlpete an utter block of a canal that has caused a container shortage and delivery delay around the world.
Drivers... well who would of guessed we would have a shortage of drives once we weren't allowed to export the cheap flipping labour in the Polish driver market... must be heart wrenching that some Polish guy can't deliver your flipping milkshake for the equivalent of £200 a month.
It's obviously not a logistics problem is it. Ffs.

Tough times when huge distribution companies can no longer exploit cheap/slave labour... it hurt too when our fruit farms couldn't exploit migrant labour.
Imagine we could just turn a blind eye to modern day slave labour, at least we would have our milkshakes.
