True. I use a courier that prints a little pie chart of the amount paid to him.
I often pay 40-60% I paid amazon to land the package here.
But remember, a merchant pays the same, then marks up, so often this is still much cheaper than the local price.
Unless the product is very big, or heavy, hazardous or perishable, in which case I buy locally and leave the headache to the merchant.

Not being vaccinated, I would not risk the gathering.
1. Cannot afford a violation fine.
2. Need to go to wk on Monday to pay bills.
3. Would not want to be seen cavorting with the plp.
But: this shows the peoples lack of appetite for restrictions, just think what would happen with a lockdown.
Thank you all nelson mandelas for walking the plank in my place.

I do not know how many are scientific scholars. But I know Wells is not one of them.
Doctors have always had trouble accepting they could be wrong and have looked at the googling patients with disdain.
The fact is doctors have steadily lost their aura of authority and much more so after Covid. Just like them religious pastors.
