  • Technically, you’d have to declare what you are importing into the country where you live and pay tax at customs on import. It is kinda logical you dont pay VAT as a visitor since you dont live there and wouldnt benefit from the taxes you paid. Going further, I remember tax exempt cards in the 80’s you could use and show your id in stores and not pay VAT. Online versions of this exist today, I buy something from the UK and ship it to EU, I can request they not charge VAT as Im going to pay it on import.






    1. You expecting a package? If no - scam. If yes proceed to 2.
    2. Check the tracking code on the carriers site or on a multi track site and see what the status says.

    Ive had packages come to the building and the postal worker not knowing which box to put it in so it went back to the post office and the tracking indicating unsuccessful delivery due to unknown address (or something similar). In these cases, call or visit the post office doing the delivery or the company. The tracking number will be the key piece of information you can tie to a partial address. In smaller communities, this wont even happen as just placing a name on a package can get a successful delivery since the postal worker knows everyone in the community.


  • All games are like this. You spend real money for items you can only use in game and not be able to get money back. Gray market aside…

    Diablo 3 tried a real money auction house and we know how that went. Crypto has potential in bridging macro economies to real world economies but that’s not going so well either.

    The ironic thing is, we like it the way it is. Games want to spend money on items they can’t sell back. I dont understand why but it doesn’t matter. I dont partake. You don’t have to either. I play the new pokemon game and don’t spend real money. I get that choice, and for now, I’m happy not giving them anything.









  • If a security flaw is discovered and patched, it is a good sign the manufacturer is standing by their product and providing support. AFAIK, tp link does push regular fw updates for their omada gear. I’ve had two in the last month.

    In your case, I’d open a support ticket with that issue and see what tp link thinks directly. If you don’t like their reply or are ignored, you will have your answer on whether or not you should switch.
