Well, they don't offer AliExpress standard shipping for France.
But they do so for Germany, Belgium and some other european countries, where the shipping is approx. 30€.
VAT included ?
Shipping yes, BUT (?):
For AliExpress orders shipped from outside the EU, purchases with an intrinsic value up to €150 are often handled via IOSS (VAT collected at checkout), while above €150 you usually pay import VAT (and possibly customs/handling fees) on import or delivery.
since a few years, vat is included for France.
Is VAT included for orders above €150? AliExpress usually shows that before you pay.
If it is included, then your price makes sense (lucky you!).
I estimated €60–70 in VAT, and with regular shipping it comes out about right.
You’re right, I got bitten by that just a month ago (in France). I previously only did orders under 150€, which were all VAT-inclusive, but the order above this I had to pay 20%VAT + handling fees.
it’s the past. now all prices for France are with VAT included, i bought several devices over 500€ a few month ago, and i din’t pay any extra fee.
I’m not sure, looks like my “past month” is the future for your “few monthes ago“, so I don’t know…
