Why can't I keep subscribing LensWork ?

[Antonio Correia]

Somehow, Portuguese Government is trying to get as much money from citizens as it can, and successfully !
The fiscal charge in this country is getting bigger and bigger, suffocating entrepreneurs whichever they are. However, money for chosen entities is always available.
I have been receiving LensWork for years in my mailbox but suddenly, I have to pay to receive this publication. Not much is fact, but I do not want this extra in all publications.
I had to fill out a bureaucratic online process to Portuguese Customs to end paying 4.3 € for one issue !
I am sorry but I have to end my subscription from now on.

I had suspected something was changing as I had not received a previous number... and got no notification from the Portuguese Customs whatsoever !
LensWork can keep the remaining issues of the magazine to which I regretfully say goodbye !

Keep the good work !

I have already received a mail from LensWork

"Antonio,
We’ve heard from several different subscribers in various European countries that they have clamped down on customs and duties for inbound shipments. Obviously, this is totally beyond our control. However, we heard from our European mailing contractor that putting a sticked on the envelope that says “SUBSCRIPTION” may resolve the issue. We will do so on the next issue of LensWork and see if that helps.

Now, let's wait to see if it works
