Part of the reason is that German Amazon (but none of the others) deduct VAT when they ship to Switzerland. And for Swiss VAT the price is below the radar, so to speak. That is only charged for more expensive items, but if that happens, one pays a handling charge in addition. So if things would be handled in that way for cheaper items as well, we might pretty much just forget about ordering from abroad.</p></blockquote><p></p>
