I sold a record on Discogs (£7) to a guy in Finland, I have just returned this message:-
Hi! I got a message from our customs service, and they are asking for your IOSS number to verify the VAT, so I don’t have to pay again. Though it says in the invoice that you have paid the VAT (FI) they got to have that IOSS before they can release it.
I’ve sold quite a few items to Europe before with no problems.
Watching my local news on telly, and amongst the congratulations for a-level results finding out that one of the featured successful students is actually going on to do a degree in “festival management!”…
It’s nothing new that’s for sure. These personality types might be useful when down selecting a CEO, but the whole shit show is often sold by consultants as part of team building days. Always fun to cheat this bollocks and watch your dumb ass middle managers try and analyse why your personality traits make Attila the Hun look like a limp biscuit.
When I started doing solution architecture years ago I had to go on a 3 day course for that shite. The idea was that you could determine the customer’s personality type and that would dictate how you dealt with and talked to them.
All I got from it was that I think everyone is a cunt and should be treated as such.
