tbf if you had it sent to Germany you would have paid 19% VAT to the German tax authorities but instead you paid 20% to UK customs. So it's not really £742 more expensive. Think of it as a charitable donation to the NHS (and try to ignore the bit that goes to pay Boris' salary and the probably exorbitant handling fees from Parcelforce)
