Hi everyone,

I'd like to buy from a Russian store, but the checkout page seems weird (see
image).

EUR 33.66 for items, EUR 8.12 for VAT ... but why is it EUR 51.54 + shipping
at the end?

Thanks!

That’s the shipping & handling & other fees (set by the seller) that’re already
determined even if it says TBD.
It’s sometimes wrongly determined though….

Estimated S&H fees (which for some reason don't show under S&H or on their
own separate row).

Together with import duties and all, it might become quite expensive. I would
suggest asking a quote first before ordering.

Thanks for all your answers, very confusing though (the checkout system, not
your answers)
