Nerdorama for All Your Geeky Needs

kasperh writes "After 10 months the Danish geekshop Nerdorama.com is now doing business across Europe. Nerdorama sells t-shirts, gadgets and a lot of other geek things for nerds within the EU. Now European nerds can buy geekstuff without paying big taxes when buying outside EU as you don't pay taxes when buying from other European countries."

Well, here's the cache'd version from google.

Yes, its an advert, but...

Thanks anyway /. - as much as I love ThinkGeek's stuff, the import duties here in the UK are an absolute killer. Between shipping and duty (and then even duty on the shipping!) stuff costs more than twice as much as it does for you US types.

.com is not for the US, .us is.

I know it takes a bit of the fun out of it, since it will ruin the guessing, but here it is anyway

Re:You pay taxes

[Dot.Com.CEO]

You either pay taxes at the country of origin or the destination country. For VAT to be levvied at the rate of the destination country, the company has to be registered there or the buyer be a VAT registered company.

That is simplifying it a bit, most likely they will charge Danish VAT and get it over with. At 25% it is truly shocking, but it still beats importing stuff from the states.

And here's the manual translation, since someone mentioned babblefish is down:

Database problem! We are very sorry, but at the moment our server is struggling to keep up with the amount of requests. Thanks for the attention. We hope you will visit the site later.

You are 100% wrong and 2 seconds of googling could have solved your problems. .UA = Ukraine .US = USA

Advertising, and not even that guerilla

[mkro]

Yes, this is pure advertising. Submitter's login: kasperh. If you Google "Kasper" + "Nerdorama", you find the phrase: "Nerdorama was founded as a one person company by Kasper Hartwich". Ouch, that is ugly. And coincidentally I recognized the name, as he used to be (Still is?) in the Amiga scene group I was/is a member of. Hi Bakerman, your tricks are dirty, but I blame the editors rather than you.
Luv, allanon.
