Extremely deceptive sales practices
Extremely deceptive sales practices. The Extreme Meters webshop is designed in such a way that potential buyers from EU think they're dealing with a Dutch webshop. I thought so too, and in the end, this tiny, shoddy barrel cooler cost me double the standard price due to several import taxes! I hope this will warn other EU buyers about these scams.

Hi Patrick, I’m sorry to hear about your frustration with the taxes charged by your country’s customs office. Please know that we never intend to cause any confusion about our location — we’re a U.S.-based company, and we do our best to make that clear on our website. We’ve designed our site to be straightforward for international customers, and all the shipping options presented, including the one you selected (First Class International), are for international delivery. We ship to Europe daily without issue, but I completely understand how international taxes and duties can be frustrating. Again, I’m sorry for the inconvenience these charges have caused, though they are determined by your country’s customs regulations. I hope this helps clarify the situation. Kind regards, Mitch
