I paid exactly the same. 20% + custom fees + shipping.

I get that it was a very frustrating experience for you, and I'm glad you got a nice Libra 2 eventually. But it's everyday reality for people who don't live in a few select countries.

Personally I'm happy to live in the EU, and that's one of the reasons why. I remember what it was like before. Ordering anything from abroad was a nightmare.
