The difference is this . 90 ' s kids millennials <| sep |> Ahh those 711 umbrellas . <| sep |> yeah . and here , have 4 konohamarus <| sep |> In other words Another case of I didn ' t bother to read the fine print for the KS campaign . While not every country on this planet was specifically mentioned in the fine print , you should expect customs and taxes if you aren ' t really sure where the product in question will be shipping from . That wouldn ' t have left you with that surprise . But now that it is the 3 rd KS for Pebble it seems to be common knowledge that they produced in China and from where they are shipping to the end user seems uncertain . Living in Germany , I fully expected having to pay at least import tax . So I ' m not as surprised that this will be collected at the time of shipping my reward .
