    It was cheaper for me to buy a bunch of computer parts in Germany and get back than getting them locally, so there's that. Same goes for used cars. Some of the medications are a lot (I'm talking up to 70% in my case) cheaper when bought online from the Czech Republic, but it doesn't hold in general.

Do you know if that holds true for other Eastern European countries? Could it be because of the import taxes in Poland?

I'm not trying to oppose you here. I find the situation appalling but would like to know more before I say something.
