Not sketchy really, they're just trying to helpo you get it through customs without a fee.

Most of the time they just call it a $50 gift and that will bypass any fees.

He's essentially asking you if you're okay with paying import duties.

Not sure where you're from, but certain countries will tax the shit out of imports, up to like 60% of its value depending on the item. The US is fairly lax when it comes to importing, as is Australia (as long as it's under 1000 USD), but most other countries will be charging you some sort of fee. Granted, these policies change almost monthly, too so it's a giant pain in the ass to keep track of.

Now, if you were to ask him to under declare the value of the item, it would considered illegal. However, very few governments are going to crack open your package, take a look at the product, and research the common selling price of that item. The most they'll do is ask for a receipt, and if you can't provide one that matches the declared price, then they'll charge you the duties for whatever you paid.

If you're paranoid about it, just tell him that to declare it whatever you paid. If you have to pick it up at the customs office, bring your receipt.

The only way you might end up being screwed over by under declaring is if your item is lost or damaged in shipment. And even then most payment processors are so gun-ho about customer protection, all it takes is a phone call to get your money back. Most sellers, though, are more than willing to ship you a replacement for any damage or lost product, so always ask them first.

UK here. So I think it is a 20% tax on anything over £15. Does anyone ever get in trouble for doing this then?

But which board will you go to instead?

but this is the part of 4chan with the mental illness that manifests in idolizing crappy pointless technology, reinforced by the idea that 'knowing how to click 'confirm' on grandma's antivirus' means you are smart and know all about computers, in the good way like bill gates and not in the normie way like steve jobs.

>>58229517It's a social website, the funny thing is even after using Redis to hide the slow shit of Django/Python, it's still slow and it's surprisingly not the database (Postgres).

Opinion discarded. Get a laptop for mobile needs that aren't so heavy, or a desktop for hard programming work.

not meme, but more expensive

the main problem is that they're too small to back up any amounts of data

They're DoD rated, so not meme, but the price is prohibitive outside of actual archival use.
