Anyone else feel like they're going to have to stop selling to customers in the EU or frankly anywhere outside of the UK now?

About 1/3 of my orders come from the EU, the new additional charges & paperwork are bad for big businesses but they're crippling for a #SmallBusiness

I mean I knew it was going to be bad but facing the reality of it in what is already a tough time is something else.

It's bleak, I'm in fortunate / unusual position that I have my books as an additional revenue stream but with Covid keeping the shop closed, online sales have been keeping us afloat, the changes that came in Jan 1 have wiped out 1/3 of that at a stroke.

Things take longer to process, they cost more to ship & they take longer to arrive if they arrive at all.

Who can run a business like that?

And what customer wants to order from a UK based business under these circumstances?

There's not much to eat in these sunlit uplands...
