[QUOTE="Handsome Creepy Eel, post: 1449621, member: 1362"] So I wanted to get some stuff from Overstock instead of Amazon but found out that, for some absolutely insane reason that is beyond comprehension, they don't ship to Croatia: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.overstock.com/intlcountryselect[/URL] Of course, you could say [I]"well, Croatia is not such an important country"[/I], but they have taken their time to organize shipping to tiny countries of Slovenia, Montenegro and Macedonia, which are all located in the same region as Croatia, but are much smaller and have similar levels of purchasing power. [ATTACH type="full"]29673[/ATTACH] The most ridiculous detail here is that any goods shipped to Montenegro would have to [I]pass[/I] through Croatia to get to their destination! But wait, it gets better. They will also happily ship to remote corners of the world like Marshall Islands and Vanuatu... but common, EU Croatia? Uh-oh, sorry sir, that's too far away for us. [ATTACH type="full"]29674[/ATTACH] Heck, they will even ship to war-torn shitholes like Congo and Zimbabwe and places with no addresses or postal systems like Chad, but Croatia? No, no, god-forbid you nasty Slavs with funny surnames buy a decent value for money chandelier and turn it into a weapon of mass destruction. Idiotic stuff like this is the reason why the big globalist corporations dominate the market. They may be evil and rely on corrupting governments to get favors for themselves, but at least they don't shoot themselves in the foot from the very beginning. [/QUOTE]
