Someone please give me a reason why I SHOULD NOT ship to a customer in Belarus?

The buyer has had 2 positive reviews but only been a member since September 25,
both of those transactions were in Netherlands.

I personally dont discriminate against people in any country as a lover of lego...but
we are talking about a 700.00 CAN set here.

My heart says ship it, my brain says cancel/refund/block.

Belarus like a few other countries has had a bad rap in the last few years and
that is unfortunate.

You may find plenty reasons here:

In short, EU sanctions imposed against Belarus.

Love of LEGO is something but there's a real world.

Countries near a war theatre see a lot of credit card fraud because of the looting
of bodies, I personally saw that during the Yugoslavia civil war. Those stolen
credit cards take months to cancel because their previous owner can’t dispute…

It is... what your heart is telling you

The level ignorance on display by others in this thread, of not only current
statuses, but of the shallowest of historical contexts too, astounds...

Do either of you understand what Belarusians have gone through during and post
the second world war? We could rewind even further back, to better illuminate
Belarus for you both to understand, if only the current gatekeepers would allow
such audacious freedom of expression

No, I don't. Nor will I ever, don't like playing in the mud

  Because many here aren't fan being insulted.

So, it's you that's been offended here, then?

Perhaps, reconsider your annoyance to facts and in doing so, learn Learning
will increase your presences, here or wherever you intent to further express
yourself.
