Ukraine (some rant below). Country of shitty laws and crazy taxes. If something costs above 300 Euros, to get it through the border you have to pay around 40% or even more. So there are services that let you fool the system, they always appear when something goes SO unfair. But even when you're using such kinds of services, shipping through the ocean would be pretty damn pricey. For a heavy amp or cabinet it's around 300-400 bucks. I'm not talking about air delivery. It becomes golden.
With brand new amps, there are official dealers and prices are usually fair. But man, each time I GAS for some used half-priced gear in perfect condition, I'm soooo jealous
I had a situation last year. Found a rare and cool pair of Klein+Humell O300d's studio monitors. Perfect condition, 3300$ for both, with sturdy metal road cases. Amazing deal. Ordered them. With shipping and fees it was 4000$ here, because of the total weight of around 60kg's (30 for speakers and 30 for cases). Still fine. But. They drowned during transportation or while being stored in the docks. No idea, but they came here all rotten. Man, I almost cried when I saw them destroyed! Such a rare and great piece of equipment has been ruined so foolishly, and they don't produce them any more. Rebranded to Neumann, and I simply don't trust their newer production. Still can't forgive I didn't order air delivery. It would've cost much more, but who knew!
P.S. We also have no normal Paypal here. It works only one way - we can send, but we can't receive money. Because of our greedy banking system. They just won't let it happen. Fuck them. There are still ways if you have relatives in Russia or some other country where it works.
